Helix Pen

With an integrated ink tube and barrel, the Helix Pen is a fun and thrifty reinterpretation of the ballpoint pen.

The refills for existing refillable ballpoint pens tend to exhaust quickly, needing repeated replacement. The one-off ballpoint pen leads to even greater consumption and more waste. In the case of the Helix Pen, the ink tube is the pen itself. Twisted and wrapped into a spiral, the ink tube performs a second function as the pen barrel. The pen barrel and the throwaway refill are no longer required, and the lifespan of the pen is greatly extended. Helix Pen saves on materials, waste, and cost.
