Exploring the fundamentals of writing, Axis distills writing instruments to elemental forms.

A triangle, rectangle, and circle intersect to create a minimalist silhouette. Featuring a lathed and threaded aluminum ball, the user can spin it to make it travel along the steel rod shaft. Depending on where the ball lands, the function of it transforms; stand, rest, grip, and cap. The pencil is fitted with a replaceable magnetic graphite tip

Exhibited at Shanghai Design Week 2026 + Milan Design Week 2026
