Make Writing Sugary Sweet
An edible pen!
Dave Hakkens
“I first wanted to make something so I could chew on my pen without making it dirty. When looking at the pen I noticed that you only use the ink, the other stuff is just there to hold filling more comfortable. Isn’t it possible to eat the whole cover? That was my goal, a pen where you can chew on and entirely eat. First gathered at a lot of pens and looked what makes it good to chew on.
With that information I made 3 different molds and started testing out different types of candy, the breaking point and which chew the best. When I found the shape and candy I made a final model in peppermint flavor. The candy which is used doesn’t stick on anything and doesn’t feel dirty when you hold it in your hands or when eating it afterwards. It contains 22 pieces and is filled with edible ink. The only thing which isn’t edible is the small point where you write with. When finished you throw it away or put in in a new re-fill pen.”
There are even different flavours
Doesn't look like it can write much but an interesting idea nonetheless.

Stak and Slide
'Stak' by designer Patrick Fey is a storage concept developed for Richard Lampert to be used in a variety of ways and places.
The components can be moved around to form cabinets that roll around on a trolley or even just something to hold up your tv. The sliding joints allow for countless combinations.
