Aquatic Creature-Inspired Pens

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'Jellyfish Pen' by Jarim Koo Has a Curvaceous, Flexible Design

— January 8, 2020 — Art & Design
The 'Jellyfish Pen' is a writing utensil designed by Jarim Koo that draws inspiration from the aquatic creature of the same name and highlights an interactive design that's sure to entice those with a penchant for fidgeting. The pen consists of just two components including the transparent outer body and an inner ink tube that bulges out of the side towards the bottom. This requires users to press the ink tube in order to write, which will also conceal the tip upon release to eliminate the need for a traditional cap to keep it covered.

The 'Jellyfish Pen' boasts a high-end design that, while beautiful, could also help to provide students or professionals alike a way to fidget as they work.
