'Download' pen by Ross Lovegrove.I'm a huge fan of Lovegrove's slippery, biomorphic style in general, but this pen stands out as an especially cool example. One of my favorite parts about the pen is that, because of the undercuts in the surface, it can only be manufactured by 3D printing (though I bet someone clever could investment-cast it).
In this way, Lovegrove is doing the same thing as the Eames's and other famous midcentury designers, whose forms were influenced by the cutting edge manufactuing techniques of the time.
