Once you finish writing, the Levitating Pen features a magnetic cap that you can click satisfyingly. You can also position the pen in its holder, which has been magnetized to keep the pen floating in that position. If you give the pen a simple twist, it starts spinning its place for a good 20 seconds, letting you interact with the pen and have some fun.
What we like
- Easy and sturdy to hold and write with
- Spinning the pen in certain intervals can be a stress buster, and add some fun to your mundane workday
What we dislike
- The smooth edges of the pen may cause it to roll off the table when kept on a curved surface
4. PENTAPA
This simple yet super cool piece of stationery is called the PENTAPA and the lead is sandwiched between two halves. The mechanical pencil is similar to a clothespin, and it features a single-body design. And also it is good for the environment…
Why is it noteworthy?
What makes the PENTAPA eco-friendly is that it is made entirely from recycled plastic, shattering the myth that plastic stationery should be cheap and disposable. “Plastic is good if it is used wisely and long-lasting”, says PENTAPA’s designer Konstantin Diehl.
What we like
- Eco-friendly design, that dispels that plastic is always bad, as it uses plastic that was intended to be discarded
What we dislike
- We’re not sure how ergonomic and easy to use the pencil will be, owing to its unique form
5. MagBoard Clipboard
If you love the smell of a new binder, you are going to love this MagBoard Clipboard. A simple yet effective solution, this design allows you to easily attach any paper – blank, dotted, grid in 2 sizes so you always have the fresh paper smell when you attach new stationery. Simply lift the magnetic panel, and leave your pen inside for the next time your big idea strikes!

What we like
- The magnetic design allows you to attach this clipboard to any metal surface.
- There is no ring that holds your paper together, so you don’t have to tear paper away when needed.
What we dislike
- The MagBoard Clipboard only holds a maximum of 30 sheets at a time.
6. Eco-Friendly Pencil Sharpener
The Eco-Friendly Pencil Sharpener is a winner of the Red Dot Design Concept Award, and the unique design can increase the lifespan of tiny pencil stubs by elongating them.
Why is it noteworthy?
All you need to do is thread one end of the small pencil, and tap a larger pencil, allowing you to simply screw one pencil into another, creating a bigger pencil that not only lasts longer but also reduces waste.
What we like
- Prevents the waste of pencil stubs, and the constant purchase of new pencils
What we dislike
- It’s a concept, so we are unsure how well-functioning this product will actually be
7. Rolling World Clock
With the world getting more global, we are surely looking across more than one timezone at a time – maybe you have family living on the other side of the globe, you are working with clients in different timezones, or are in a long distance relationship – if looking at different times is your requirement but you hate the currently available digital versions, this minimal, one-handed Rolling World Clock is your solution.
Click Here to Buy Now: $44 $49 (10% off at checkout). Hurry, deal ends in 48 hours!
Why is it noteworthy?
You can easily get the timezone you want with a one-handed movement. Turn the clock till the city you want you check the time for is pointing straight up and the watch hand adjusts to the correct timezone automatically.
What we like
- Take away the strain of using a screen to tell you multiple timezones
- Keeps the time-telling a minimal affair
What we dislike
- The clock has only 12 set cities, so we still need mental math for the timezones outside the clock’s interface.
8. TP Pen
This innovative writing tool called the TP Pen was designed to reform the basic everyday writing tool. It’s a conceptual pen that not only writes on paper, but also functions as a ruler, marker, and a stand if you don’t use it.
Why is it noteworthy?
The unique pen features a “trixagonal” cap that allows it to serve as more than a pen. The shape of the pen is inspired by the New Age geometric pattern called the Flower of Life. This pattern is said to hold answers to the Universe and all living things.
What we like
- Multifunctional design that can serve as various stationery items
What we dislike
- It’s a conceptual design, so not sure how it will translate into a real tangible product
9. The UFO Desk Pen Holder
Dubbed the UFO Desk Pen Holder, this innovative pen holder holds your pen while suspending it in mid-air, making it seem as if aliens are going to kidnap your pen!
Why is it noteworthy?
The top of the pen holder is your stereotypical alien spaceship in the shape of a flying saucer. You could put the USS Enterprise or a Star Destroyer, too, but its irregular shape would break the illusion and remove a bit of the eerie atmosphere surrounding this design.
What we like
- Helps you add an element of whimsical fun to your workdesk
- The saucer provides illumination on your workdesk
What we dislike
- As a single pen holder, it takes up a lot of precious real estate on the desk
10. The Note
Dubbed the Note, this nifty little note-taking device is a must have for those who love to write to clear their mind. Having this whiteboard in place is a calming exercise where you can quickly empty the stray thoughts, to-do notes, or jot the stray diagram when needed.
Why is it noteworthy?
The whiteboard flips over to give you more space to take notes without removing your old ones. Whereas a screen on the left allows you to keep track of your digital appointments amongst other details.
What we like
- Helps balance digital and analog note-taking, giving you the best of both worlds.
What we dislike
- As a vertical device, it takes up a lot of precious real estate on the desk
