Pen Uno + Pencil Uno Now On Kickstarter (Sponsor)

Writing instruments have been a design challenge for thousands of years. Ensso, a small design studio in Los Angeles, step up to the challenge of creating a new pen with a simple yet powerful solution. Pen Uno is the study of liberating a pen of unnecessary parts and ornaments.

After a very successful Kickstarter campaign in 2015, Pen Uno is back as an exciting pen and pencil combo. This new super minimal all-aluminum pen has been redesigned so it can be transformed into a mechanical pencil by switching two parts only. When a pen, it uses the beloved Hi-Tec-C Coleto ink cartridge, and as a pencil it uses standard 0.5 mm leads.

Pen Uno is one of the thinnest pens in production at only 5.3 mm in diameter. The grip section is wider for a very comfortable writing experience and also doubles as twisting cap to protect the pen tip when not in use. A few turns of the barrel will open or close the pen. Pen Uno is machined out of aluminum anodized in five distinct colors: space grey, gold, rose gold, red, and black.

The Pen Uno and Pencil Uno start at just $25 individually, with the Pen + Pencil converter kit starting at $35.

My thanks to Ensso for sponsoring The Pen Addict this week.

Lucrin Leather Pen Accessories Review

The staff at Lucrin reached out recently to see if I would be interested in reviewing some of their leather goods, especially those in their stationery lineup. I wasn’t sure what to expect, especially since I don’t follow the leather goods market that closely, but I was impressed with what I saw. And I could get them in orange!

What appealed to me the moment I saw it was the Three Pen Tray. I have plenty of cases I can carry in a bag or backpack, seeing that I own a pen case company, and I’m always on the lookout for more quality desk accessories. This tray fit the bill, in smooth orange leather of course.

When the package arrived, I was ecstatic to not only find the pen tray I requested, but also the Single Pen Holder and Pencil Pouch, both in orange granulated leather, and and iPhone 6+ case in smooth orange. Thanks for the hookup Lucrin!

After using the pen tray for a few weeks it has solidified a spot on my desk permanently. That’s no small feat considering the small writing area I have between stacks of books and stationery goods. Real estate is at a premium, but this pen tray definitely increased the property values of the neighborhood.

Everything about it is just right. It is firm, so it lays flat and stays in place, yet it is soft, so I have no concerns resting any and all pens in the three deep channels. Even the most trained eye will have a hard time finding a single flaw in the stitching or craftsmanship of this pen tray.

The same goes for the other three products I received. The quality and construction of each product is flawless. The single pen case is very useful in its thin but protective design, and the pencil case can easily hold dozens of your favorites. Even the iPhone case is made to such a tight tolerance that it is easy to slide your phone in with no chance of it sliding back out.

Every product that Lucrin sent is a delight to use.

Since I received way more than I asked for, and I’m impressed with everything about these products, I’ll be running a giveaway tomorrow for the single pen case and pencil pouch, so be sure to check back then.

In the interim, check out the wide array of customizable leather goods that Lucrin offers and I think you will come away impressed too.

My thanks to Lucrin for providing these goods at no charge to The Pen Addict for purposes of review.
