Tools To Liveby Dual-Tip Ballpoint Pen
Description
This pen carries a rather good story in its pocket. Created in collaboration with Yutu, one of Taiwan’s most respected heritage stationery makers, the Tools To Live By Dual-Tip Ballpoint Pen revives a design that first appeared in 1966—when Taiwan’s very first ballpoint pen quietly made history. With its unmistakable yellow barrel and two ink colours housed in one clever body, it balances nostalgia with everyday usefulness. One end for notes, the other for emphasis, lists, or sudden flashes of inspiration. It writes smoothly, feels reassuringly familiar in the hand, and proves that good design never really goes out of fashion—it simply waits to be used again. This pen is available in two colour combinations: Red/Blue and Black/Blue.
Built for Daily Use
-
Dual-tip practicality: Two ink colours in one pen always keep you organised without cluttering your desk.
-
Comfortable, balanced body: It sits naturally in your hand, making long writing sessions feel easy and controlled.
-
Heritage-inspired design: The classic yellow barrel brings retro charm without ever feeling outdated.
