'clip + pen' by korean designer, giha woo is an object
that looks to utilize the standard pen clip in a better,
more efficient way.

the ballpoint pen replaces the traditional clasp with a
paper clip, allowing the tool to equally function as a
both objects. available in two colors - blue or white -
with a contrasting silver paper clip, the pen features a
streamlined aesthetic with minimal details.

in my opinion the pen showed here is not the same idea than the lamy safari, the first takes clips idea, and the second is only an abstraction of the pice to hang the pen on the shirt, isn't it?
