The Design

About Creator Stylo à bille

Creator est un stylo à bille modulaire que l'utilisateur assemble lui-même. Le corps métallique évidé laisse apparaître les vis, les ressorts et la structure mécanique интérieure. Des accessoires externes de couleurs, de formes et de matériaux différents se raccordent grâce à une interface universelle : les pièces s'emboîtent ainsi comme des jeux de construction et chaque stylo devient unique. Le corps est intégralement réalisé en métal. À l'exception des recharges et des ressorts, la plupart des pièces sont obtenues en une seule opération et les matériaux sont entièrement recyclables, ce qui réduit la consommation d'énergie et le gaspillage de matière.
