Pen Holder

Silicon Bronze

Sand Casting, Patternmaking, Milling

Designed to add subtle action and curvature to a desk top, this pen holder attempts to incentivize a user to actually keep track of their pens. The holder is a bronze casting of a CNC-routed pattern that has been post-machined to incorporate holes and flat bottom faces. The sides have been sanded for effect, with the rest of the body maintaining a sand cast finish. Functionally, the stand holds five pens along its crest with a vee-groove at its front to hold the pen in use.
