The shift towards digital design methods has broadened capabilities but hasn't replaced the feeling of creating with a traditional writing utensil, so the conceptual 'M-Marker' identifies what can be done to make the equipment more future-focused.
The Red Dot Design Award-winning markers feature a specialized design that makes them easy to hold in your hand when drawing or writing, while also making them perfect for grouping together. The integrated magnets in the markers keep them clustered together, which allows them to be easily carried with you without fear of losing one.
The conceptual 'M-Marker' set is the design work of Sun Fan, Zeng Wenjing and Zhang Qiaowei, and could work to streamline the artistic process by eliminating the need for traditional writing utensil cases.
