An over-sized pen. Is ergonomically comfortable for longer writing sessions
Italian architect and designer, Stefano Bini, designed the pen. He choose the triangular shape to enhance the correct position of the fingers when holding the pen and writing. This was a significant departure from the traditional cylindrical shape of pens. The design supports an even weight distribution on all sides and the correct nib angle to the paper. The triangular shape, "the Reuleaux triangle", is a shape of constant width but has curved sides. The equilateral triangle with three angular sides, each at a slant of 60 degress each - thus the name 360
