YSTUDIO - 'The Weight of Words'

We introduced you to Taiwanese design studio, Ystudio, last year. Today, we are happy to announce that founders Yi and Yanko are expanding their range of simplistic, meticulously crafted stationery objects to include two new pens: The ‘Weight of Words’ collection will see the release of The Classic Sketching Pencil and The Classic Ballpoint Pen. The two new additions are made from brushed brass and will be available from April 1st.

‘The Weight of Words’
Yi and Yanko wish to remind us of the beautiful things that have been forgotten as time goes by. “The meaning of writing to modern people has gradually changed […] Writing has evolved from a way to convey words to a medium to express emotions. ‘Weight’ represents not only a deep emotion, but it also stands for a meaningful commitment: deep, heavy and indelible.” 

Manufactured in scorching heat with temperatures of more than one thousand degrees, Ystudio’s stationery pieces are handcrafted by local masters using traditional manufacturing techniques. Material: Brass. Price €70-90.

YSTUDIO - Brass and Copper Stationery

Pick up a pen, and indulge yourself in the tranquillity of writing. Founded in Taiwan in 2012, ystudio seeks to explore vanishing culture and devotes itself to linking past memories and modern life. Their pure, raw material artefacts are made to last with the thought of being passed down from generation to generation. All items are lifetime stationery pieces and their design is perfectly matched with the ideal weight, and with a smooth yet steady feel when drawing straight or curved lines.

'In the hands, the brass, with the intense golden yellow, is gradually mild, deep with the ages, and piles up forefathers’ works full of wisdom; the feel, a bit heavy, always reminds us that we should honestly be responsible for every character we have written down.'
