About Serpentinata Pen
Serpentinata is a writing pen made by 3D printing. The design responds to the waste created by mass production, where more goods are made than are needed. Digital fabrication allows each pen to be produced only when it is required, so surplus stock is avoided. The twisting form recalls figura serpentinata, a Renaissance technique that adds a spiral movement to the human figure to create a graceful and dynamic effect. The shape is intended to give visible form to intelligence and to ideas born from inspiration.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- In the rapidly changing society, the problem of wastes during mass production is an unsolved problem for decades, at the expense of the environment.
The idea of using new production technologies to create products that are only just needed is our concept.
Serpentinata, the 3D printed pen, is our first product, and it is aimed at and designed to reduce the impact on the environment by producing only what we need. - Production Technology
- Figura Serpentinata is the Italian word for serpentine. It is the name of the Renaissance technique that was created to give a more graceful and dynamic feeling by adding a twisting movement to the motif of the human body.
It has the meaning of the ideas that we can create from nothing only based on inspiration. We designed while thinking that if the intelligence was visualized in a shape, it would look like this.
And this is where Serpentinata is named. - Inspiration
- In recent years, the concept of digital fabrication has emerged worldwide to bring one answer to the waste problem of mass production. The idea is to use new production technologies, such as 3D printers, to create new products that suit one only, which one can not have with mass production. We decided to think about products that can be produced by digital fabrication with this aim, and this pen is our first product.
