Writing White

The ACME rollerball pen collection is a collaboration between designers and Stylus to create contemporary writing instruments. What's more, they can be converted into fountain pens with a separate kit. Above, the "Metamorph" pen by Asymptote, $90 at Stylus.

Well, actually, it’s the writing instruments that are white, although we highly recommend opting for some white ink for your next “Dear Secret Admirer” correspondence.

As writers and fond friends of paper and pens, we’re excited to feature the ACME collection of writing instruments available at Stylus. These modern and beautiful pens are the product of industry designers’ take on this most under-rated everyday tool.

Our fave: the “Punctuation” rollerball pen by Harry Allen (pictured below). Don’t you just adore all those exclamation points and accents “aigus“?

ACME "Punctuation" pen by Harry Allen, $95

ACME "Halftone" pen by Todd Falowsky, $95

ACME "Petal" pen by Gabrielle Lewin, $95

ACME "Geometri- Blk/Wht" pen by Verner Panton, $95

The Friday Five: Fred Flare

Fred Flare is an online store that carries some of the most unusual, quirky and fun products. Today I’m happy to feature five white items from the current collection at Fred Flare.

Nintendo Wii gum, $6, Fred Flare

Book: The Geometry of Pasta, $25.95, Fred Flare

Table saw cake cutter, $11, Fred Flare

Sparrow salt & pepper shakers, $14, Fred Flare

Short stacked demitasse set, $30, Fred Flare

p.s. I didn’t feature it in this post but the first item I ever bought from Fred Flare was the lipstick ballpoint pen and it is still in stock after all of these years! My most favourite Fred Flare item is this Holly GoNightly sleep mask – I use it nightly and it works like a charm!

Nixon at FNAC

French retailer FNAC is currently carrying a fabulous selection of white Nixon products. I personally do not own a watch or a set of headphones but maybe I should reconsider. I’m loving the design of the following Nixon products:

Time Teller, Nixon, 69 Euros, at FNAC

Nixon whip headphones, 35 Euros, FNAC

Nixon trooper headphones, 59.90 Euros, at FNAC

Nixon Master Blaster headphones, 199.90 Euros, at FNAC
