Staxio Foundry Vintage Brass Pen Holder

WEIGHTED BRASS. WARM PATINA. PENS WHERE YOU LEFT THEM.

A pen cup is a small object you touch forty times a day, which is exactly why it should feel like something. Brass has heft: it stays put when you drop a pen in at speed, and it warms tonally against wood and paper in a way plastic never manages. Standing at the corner of the desk, it gathers the pens, scissors and rulers that otherwise migrate across the surface all week. The vintage finish deepens where your hand meets it, and that slow change is the whole argument for the material.

• Stands its ground on the weight of solid brass, so a one-handed grab never sends it skidding.
• Gathers the strays such as pens, markers, scissors and letter openers into one upright container within reach.
• Ages into character as the vintage brass finish darkens through years of handling.
• Warms a cool desk with a metallic tone that reads as considered beside monitors and matte black hardware.
