PININFARINA INKLESS AERO PEN

Here’s another exquisite piece of work from Pininfarina – a pen that features a unique tip that enables it, apparently, to be a limitless writing instrument. There’s no ink required. Instead, a special alloy (called Ethergraph) tip ‘oxidises’ the paper, leaving a permanent mark that somewhere between pencil and pen in look (though not as dark as a ballpoint pen). Very cool stuff.
