Bl33K

A redesigned Bic Crystal that splits case from cartridge, so only the refill is disposable.

Bl33K takes the Bic Crystal, probably the most disposable object in a desk drawer, and redesigns it entirely for 3D printing. Case and cartridge are separate parts: the case stays, only the refill gets thrown away. The idea is to make an object last that was originally built to be discarded.

A dozen pens standing in a coiled white pot, black, pink, mint and white bodies.

Five pens laid in a row, each a different colour, caps alternating white and black.

Two translucent pens crossed, one uncapped to show the metal writing tip.

A pink pen lies across another, its white cap set aside to bare the tip.

Mint green pens crossed, the hollow white cap resting apart from them.

Black pens crossed under raking light, a spare white cap lying to the right.

White pens crossed, one capped in black, the other's metal tip left bare.
