Pens, we get. But it’s tough to get excited about pencils, until now, that is. The Stilform AEON is more than just a pencil. You can swap the magnetic tips from a conventional graphite pencil head to a metal tip that actually writes. Not only does it minimize waste on an all-new level, but the Eternal tip hardly wears down at all. Moreover, it doesn’t smudge or smear and won’t stain your clothes. Choose from a handful of metal bodies, including high-grade aluminium, magnesium, brass as well as titanium with DLC (Diamond-like Coating). Every pen has a wood veneer insert to remind you that it is, actually, a pencil. Before it even hits production, the Stilform AEON has already won a Red Dot Design Award. You can get your hands on one during its Kickstarter funding phase that’s already exceeded its goal many times over.
