The Design

About Serpentinata 筆記用ペン

セルペンティナータは、3Dプリンティングによって制作された筆記用ペンである。このデザインは、必要以上の製品が生産される大量生産によって生じる廃棄物という問題に応えるものだ。デジタルファブリケーションによって、各ペンは必要とされたときにのみ製造されるため、余剰在庫が生じることはない。ねじれるようなフォルムは、人体像に螺旋状の動きを与えて優美で躍動的な効果を生み出すルネサンス期の技法「フィグーラ・セルペンティナータ」を想起させる。この形状は、知性とインスピレーションから生まれる着想に、目に見える形を与えることを意図している。

Unique Properties
In the rapidly changing society, the problem of wastes during mass production is an unsolved problem for decades, at the expense of the environment.
The idea of using new production technologies to create products that are only just needed is our concept.
Serpentinata, the 3D printed pen, is our first product, and it is aimed at and designed to reduce the impact on the environment by producing only what we need.
Production Technology
Figura Serpentinata is the Italian word for serpentine. It is the name of the Renaissance technique that was created to give a more graceful and dynamic feeling by adding a twisting movement to the motif of the human body.
It has the meaning of the ideas that we can create from nothing only based on inspiration. We designed while thinking that if the intelligence was visualized in a shape, it would look like this.
And this is where Serpentinata is named.
Inspiration
In recent years, the concept of digital fabrication has emerged worldwide to bring one answer to the waste problem of mass production. The idea is to use new production technologies, such as 3D printers, to create new products that suit one only, which one can not have with mass production. We decided to think about products that can be produced by digital fabrication with this aim, and this pen is our first product.
