153 Pen, Monami, South Korea
The Monami 153 is to South Korea what the Bic Cristal is to USA and France. Introduced in 1963 and recognized as one of the most influential industrial designs in Korean daily life, it has sold more than 3 billion units. This metallic version elevates the humble original without losing the thing that made it famous: it writes better than any pen on earth. If you love a Pentel fine... you will try this and never look back.
