Fidget-Friendly Writing Utensils

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'Fidget Pen' Offers an Adult Way to Play During the Day

— February 24, 2018 — Life-Stages
The conceptual 'Fidget Pen' comes as a modern piece of equipment for the office that will provide adult consumers with a way to satisfy their urge to fidget and play during the day when at their workstation.

Designed by Inyeop Baek, the pen incorporates a series of mechanisms that let users push buttons and turn wheels as they work to take calls to keep their hands busy. While other fidget toys serve only one purpose, the pen doubles as a writing utensil that can be used for jotting down notes to ensure it's as functional as possible on your desk.

The 'Fidget Pen' identifies the popularity of toy-inspired products amongst consumers who are embracing their urge to fidget and fiddle during the workday.
