"Most desk pen cups end up as graveyard storage for half-dead markers, random pencils, and that one pen you actually like, buried somewhere in the mix. The usual cylinder treats every tool the same, even though your hand instinctively knows which pen feels right for signing documents or writing notes that matter. A little hierarchy on the desk might do more to calm the visual noise than another storage bin that just shuffles the clutter around."
"Konus is an aluminum pen holder that takes Bauhaus principles seriously rather than using them as decoration. Designed by Liam de la Bedoyere, it is built from two inverted cones, one hollowed out to hold everyday tools, the other reduced to a single aperture for a chosen pen. It is a personal project, which gives it permission to be a bit more pure and uncompromising than mass-market organizers that try to please everyone and end up feeling generic."
"Konus is machined from aluminum with a satin finish that catches light softly rather than shouting for attention. The cork base keeps it from sliding on smooth desks and adds a bit of warmth against hard surfaces. Together, the cool metal and warm cork make it feel more like a small piece of desk architecture than a plastic cup, something you notice without it becoming a distraction or requiring constant attention."
Konus is a machined-aluminum pen holder composed of two inverted cones that establish a clear desk hierarchy. The larger cone functions as a communal container for markers, pencils, and everyday pens. The smaller cone is reduced to a single aperture that holds a chosen favorite pen upright and visible. A satin finish softens reflections while a cork base prevents slipping and adds warmth. The cool metal and warm cork combine to read as miniature desk architecture rather than plastic clutter. Daily use keeps miscellaneous tools in the main cone while the selected pen remains anchored and immediately accessible.
