Pens · Rollerball pen

Lava & Ash

Fire meets ash: the resin was poured to flow into the burl's grain like lava into a cooling field.

Rollerball pen
Material
Molten-orange resin poured against grey, smoke-figured burl
Hardware
Chrome and black-chrome fittings with a filigree centre band
Edition
One of one. Never repeated.

This piece is from the studio archive. Because no two blanks are alike, it will never be made again, but William can make you one in its spirit: the same form, a material with its own story.

Cholla is the skeleton a desert cactus leaves behind. Each opening is filled by hand, so no two lattices ever match.
