The conceptual 'IceN' writing utensil has been designed by Geonwoo Kim as a functionally artistic solution for those who are in need of a better option for jotting down notes, writing in a journal and much more. The pen is targeted towards those who would traditionally use disposable plastic alternatives and features an ink reservoir within that is visible from the exterior. This draws inspiration from the way that tree branches can look in the winter months, especially when covered in ice.
The conceptual 'IceN' writing utensil has a stylishly design-conscious aesthetic, but is also focused on daily efficiency: the internal branch-shaped reservoir will let users see exactly how much ink is left to keep an eye on levels.
