Serpentinata
Serpentinata is a writing pen made by 3D printing. The design responds to the waste created by mass production, where more goods are made than are needed. Digital fabrication allows each pen to be produced only when it is required, so surplus stock is avoided. The twisting form recalls figura serpentinata, a Renaissance technique that adds a spiral movement to the human figure to create a graceful and dynamic effect. The shape is intended to give visible form to intelligence and to ideas born from inspiration.
Serpentinata Pen by KAIRI EGUCHI has been identified as a grand representation of industrial design by the A' Design Award & Competition.

The A' Art and Stationery Supplies Design Award is an international, jury-voted, fair and ethical design recognition program which celebrates exceptional design of brushes, paints, sketchbooks, pencils, pastels, easels, canvases, markers and more.
