Wear The Style It Brings
The pen we carry adds to our outfit and our character. The Align might be something that you would like to add to yourself, it is sleek and stylistic, sculpture-like, minimal, elegant, and innovative.
The Innovation Behind
The team at Object Beyond was interested in making a pen, but they wanted to make something new, something different and unique. After 5 months of research, development, and design, they discovered this dislocated mechanism, and envisioned what the modern world needed it to be – minimal.
How Does It Work?
Quite simple, the middle part of the pen is unaligned, if you twist it to align it, the tip of the pen comes out. And it has a clip, to clip it on to your pocket.
The Stretch Goals
This is a new concept, and a new project, so before Object Beyond starts making commitments to produce the pen in different colors and addition accessories, they will need some assurance that we are interested in their ideas. So, they have created a some stretch goals, promising to release a polished silver version of the pen, a leather pen sleeve, and a rose gold pen, if the specified number of pledges are met.
Digital Focus
The world has been moving away from the physical into the digital. Align gives focus where it is due, a pen is a writer’s best friend.
