THE WRITE TOUCH

While a pen is just a pen to some, those in the know rave about the writing instruments by YStudio, a Taiwanese creator of high-end stationery and desktop accessories. The brand’s sleek, understated brass and copper pens are the result of a production process involving close collaboration with small-scale factories around the island. Intended to last a lifetime, the hexagonal barrels will oxidize and develop a patina after frequent use, ensuring that each piece is unique to its user ( ystudiostyle.com).
