About the Award-Winning Functional Writing Instrument Design: Pulse is a pen designed as both a writing tool and a sculptural object. The form is inspired by the calm shape of a cloud and appears to float. Generative patterns drawn from nature create biomorphic structures on the surface. Pulse is produced by lost wax casting, a method that reproduces fine organic detail. The pen can be cast in aluminum, silver, bronze or gold, with a polished or brushed finish. The height is 160 mm and the diameter is 13.5 mm. Metal finishing adds depth, texture and a tactile quality to a familiar everyday object.
This palette has a warming feel, suggesting comfort and energy.
