The ZenPen is a product designed for students to become more inspired and calm when using it to write than when using a regular pen. It features a glow in the dark, 3D printed large leaf on the top, reminding students of nature and peace. Additionally, it contains vibrant, shiny gemstones, encouraging students to have a cheerful attitude. Finally, the unique design of the pen helps students be more creative while keeping it comfortable for use.
The concept came from two places: I personally feel more focused and clear when I am around plants and leaves outdoors. So I wanted to bring that same feeling when anybody holds this pen. I was also inspired by the reMarkable tablet, which created a calm, distraction-free space for thinking and has minimalist design.
The goal of the ZenPen is for students to feel immersed and at ease while they write. Not rushed or stressed.
