METAPHOR

I thought of this concept when I saw

a fruit basket full of apples and oranges

in a hotel dining room. My companion and

I munched on the fruit while we studied

a map of the city we were exploring. The

subject isn’t so much the actual fruit but

the two very diff erent people represented

by the fruit. It’s a metaphor for those

people who are unique but who still

spend time together. I essentially created

a visual pun out of the popular phrase

“apples and oranges.”

INDIA INK

Indigraph fountain pen (84,70€)

The answer lies in this pen’s redesigned cap.

The pen’s disruptive cap design gives the

Indigraph superpowers. You can now use

pretty much any sort of ink with the fountain

pen, including Chinese and Indian inks, without

worrying about it drying or spoiling the pen’s

intricate ink-fl ow mechanism. Indigraph is

ideal for urban sketchers, calligraphers, artists,

designers, drafters, and hobbyists.
