the write stuff

one of my favorite things about my neighborhood is the mom & pop stationery shop which kindly supports my habit, first nurtured at hopaco, of doodling with ink to determine if the advertised extra fine point tip is up to snuff. my latest fancy, prompted by a little green guilt, is a refillable writing instrument to fill the space left when the last throwaway pen leaves its final mark.

so it was happy serendipity when my fella spotted a display filled with acme pens on a recent outing. it turns out the maui-based design studio is considered the swatch of the pen world offering up a dizzying selection of whimsically styled pens sure to be mourned if it were to meet the unfortunate fate of the lost and found box.

with graduation around the corner, the pens (plus coordinating card cases and other accessories) would make a lovely gift for grads who swoon over design stars slash acme collaborators eva zeisel, karim rashid, shepard fairey & richard meier (among others).

alas, the stockist list is incomplete, however you can find a good selection of acme studio's collection over at unica home.

I am a fan of fine writing instruments and these look like fun. I wonder how well they write. Aloha, Keahi
