About Creator Penna a sfera
Creator è una penna a sfera modulare che gli utenti assemblano da sé. Il corpo metallico traforato lascia intravedere le viti, le molle e la struttura meccanica all'interno. Gli accessori esterni, disponibili in colori, forme e materiali diversi, si collegano attraverso un'interfaccia universale: le parti si incastrano così come mattoncini da costruzione e ogni penna diventa personale. Il corpo è realizzato interamente in metallo. Ad eccezione dei refill e delle molle, la maggior parte dei componenti viene realizzata in un unico processo produttivo e i materiali sono completamente riciclabili, riducendo il consumo di energia e lo spreco di materiale.
