About Creator Stilou cu Bilă

Creator este un stilou cu bilă modular pe care utilizatorii îl asamblează singuri. Corpul metalic decupat dezvăluie șuruburile, arcurile și structura mecanică din interior. Accesoriile externe, disponibile în diferite culori, forme și materiale, se conectează printr-o interfață universală, astfel încât piesele se îmbină precum niște cuburi de construcție, iar fiecare stilou devine unic. Corpul este realizat integral din metal. Cu excepția rezervelor și a arcurilor, majoritatea pieselor sunt finalizate într-un singur proces, iar materialele sunt complet reciclabile, ceea ce reduce consumul de energie și risipa de materiale.
