With a Pen
One pen, one line. Then, a realm is created.
by ZOOM
When someone tries to create something. In other words, to materialize an idea that has yet to take shape. They start by holding a pen and drawing a single line. This single line eventually forms shape and creates a complete realm. The pen can also be called the source of creativity. This exhibition by ZOOM, a brand of design writing tools, focuses on the essential values of the pen.
The exhibition shows the voices and creation processes from ZOOM product designer Kazuki Koda, its graphic designer Chihiro Kanai, and "ANATOMICA" designer Kinji Teramoto as special collaboration creator of this exhibition. Starting from questions such as "What is a pen?" and "What are the values of drawing with a pen?", visitors will see how the product was born from a single drawn line. By experiencing the trajectory of the creators' lines expressed through drawings and projection mapping, along with the trial and error behind the lines, visitors will rediscover the value and joy of drawing with a pen, an analog tool.
At the exhibition, visitors will be able to draw their own artwork with the ZOOM pen. A limited number of pen cases, which were drawn and designed by Teramoto himself for this exhibition, will be available for advance order.
