After 6 successful projects, we are excited to be back with our latest creation: WYN Pen 1.0

 

 

WYN Pen™ is the world's most minimalist pen.  Its distinctive split-body lets you view the internal bronze refill.  Beautifully machined from a single block of aluminum, WYN Pen enhances your writing experience and will last a lifetime

 

|| THE MOST MINIMALIST PEN ||

WYN Pen has no spring, screw or button.  It has one solid metal body and an ink refill.  It is elegantly simple and intuitively functional.

 

|| PRECISION MACHINED ||

48-Step machining process is required to make this minimalist pen. 

 

|| MAXIMUM COMFORT || 

Every detail is meticulously designed to enhance your writing experience.  The slot contour fits comfortably under your fingers to provide a better grip.  The cutout increases ventilation to reduce sweat.

 

|| PREMIUM REFILL ||

WYN Pen uses Fisher Space ballpoint refill.  Its sealed and pressurized body allows you to write upside down, underwater and even in extreme temperature.  It is made in the US and is very popular among the EDC community for its reliability and ultra smooth writing.

 

|| BALANCED DESIGN ||

WYN Pen has the perfect size and weight for a pen.

The pen body is slightly bent to provide clamping force on the ink cartridge.  If you press heavily when writing, the cartridge may slide back in a little.  This is a good reminder for you to lighten the pressure.

 

|| WORKS WITH GRAVITY ||

A recess is machined from the pen body.  Simply hold the pen in the palm of your hand and press your finger into the recess to release the internal refill, then let gravity work for you.  

 

|| DESIGN TO INSPIRE ||

WYN Pen is an inspiration.  Holding this utmost simplistic pen reminds you that anything can be reduced to its core essences without losing its vital functions. It will inspire you to look at your problems from different angles and find a simpler solution.

Albert Einstein said it best: "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler."

 

|| NO PLASTIC WASTE ||

An estimated 1.6 billion plastic pens are thrown away each year in the United States alone.  That is a lot of plastic that goes to our landfills and plagues our planet.  

WYN Pen has no plastic or any other mechanical part, and its solid metal body construction will last a lifetime.  Let's do our part to help keep this planet green!!!

 

|| ROUND & OCTAGON SHAPE ||

ROUND - classic shape in minimalist form is pure elegant.

OCTAGON - a blend of traditional wood pencil shape gives it a truly unique handling.

|| DEVELOPMENT ||

Our journey began in 2016.  When we learned that billions of plastic pens were being thrown away each year, we wanted to do something about it.  We challenged ourselves to develop a unique pen that would improve your everyday writing experience - something that would last a lifetime.   

We came up with a few concepts, but none of them worked out well.  It took us another year to finalize our design.  However, manufacturing our pen proved to be a big challenge.   Our design requires a small bore to be machined through almost the entire length of the pen, which is difficult to keep straight, and it frequently breaks the tool.  Machining the chamfer edge and splitting the body was another huge challenge that we faced. The pen body would become too flexible during the machining process so we had to come up with different tooling fixtures to address this issue.

We hope you will join us on this journey to bring this product to you!

WYN LABS™ is a small creative team based in the Pacific Northwest. We have successfully completed six projects on Kickstarter and shipped our products to over 85 countries.
