The Refinement of Design
Even in the fast-paced Hong Kong, designs need time to be refined before it becomes an extraordinary piece. The designer and founder of Yuan Design Studio, Ken Lam, chooses quality instead of speed. TP, a refillable aluminum Pen designed with scale ruler, is one of his masterpieces. The idea comes from daily life, “I like to do sketching work in café but cafés are usually crowded. There is no way to place all the stationery on the table, so I design a multi-functional stationery,", said Ken.
 

Aesthetic and Functions
With the round barrel and hexagonal cap, users can hold the pen in more than one way. Measurement and line-drawing are possible, and the beauty of geometry is presented. From concept to launch, it has taken Ken around 2 years to constantly improve the design and communicate back and forth with the manufacturer to overcome technical constraints.

It took a lot of work, but Ken felt it was worth it, "No matter how hard, the product can bring you an ultimate sense of satisfaction," said Ken. He is therefore ready to devote himself to the design of stationery and household products, and bring more surprises to users.
