Yun Dong-ju's Poetry Inspires Poet Smart Pen Design
The 'Poet' smart pen draws inspiration from the seemingly gentle nuances in the poetic creations of Yun Dong-ju, a celebrated Korean poet known for his attractive linguistic expressions. Designed to conjure up a sense of nostalgia, the smart pen is graced with a soft, curving contour, emulating the poet's style. With its innovative form, the 'Poet' smart pen aims to rekindle the nostalgia of using traditional fountain pens.
Bringing Back Old World Charm
Just like the refilling of ink in quintessential fountain pens, the charging process of the 'Poet' involves slotting the pen into an ink bottle. This symbolic rendition of recharging mimics the age-old act of refilling a fountain pen with ink, providing a quaint but extreme sense of familiarity.
