Magnetic Floating Pen

Pick the pen up to write. Put it back on its magnetic base when you’re done, and it spins slowly upright in mid-air. The whole thing is precision-machined metal, weighty, properly engineered. It’s actually closer to a piece of jewellery than a piece of stationery.

• Refillable Schmidt cartridge
• “Interstellar” colourways
• Magnetic base, no batteries

The price is reasonable for a desk object that visiting clients will, without fail, ask about.

A gift for: the friend with a corner office and a slightly conspicuous interest in “tools, not toys”.
