‘DIY pen’, a flat-packed constructable pen by fraser ross

the ‘DIY pen’, created by glasgow-based designer fraser ross, is assembled by users from a single, postcard-sized sheet of plywood, with no additional tools or materials required besides a hairdryer to set its heat shrink exterior coating. finalized from over 100 prototypes, the structural components of the flat-packed design punch out of the plywood sheet for construction, while a range of colours and custom printing is possible on the shrink rubber finish.
