Gravity Wins
Thursday, November 19th, 2009
It doesn’t look like much- but I promise you, this one’s worth reading about.
MoMa makes this promotional pen using gravity instead of click tops or screw tops. All you do is turn it rightside up and (hello!) out comes the tip. I was skeptical at first, how is gravity going to keep the tip of my pen down? After all, I’m an incredibly hard writer. Just take one look at the lines etched in my desk and you’ll see just what kind of wear and tear I put on my pens.
But this one held up. It didn’t jiggle or push back up into the barrel when I was dotting my ‘I’s.
It’s mindboggling!
