The Pen

The ballpoint pen has been neglected for too long. No more. We expect a pen to be at hand at all times. You have one at the bottom of your bag, in the glove compartment, in your jacket pocket. You might not even know how you got the one you're currently using. It's a trend, a lack of respect for the product and, not least, our own time for reflection. That's why billions of ballpoint pens are thrown away every year. We don't care about them. That needs to stop. Your thoughts deserve better.

9,000,000,000

Is the estimated number of plastic pens thrown away each year worldwide… A Pen Company. One pen, that’s the point. One pen is all you need. Far too many resources are wasted on cheap disposable pens that break, dry out and end up in the trash. We believe in one really good pen, made from recyclable materials, built to last, designed to write beautifully and yes, it actually looks good.

What makes The Pen special?

The Pen is more than a pen — it is a tool for focus, reflection and self-realization in a digital everyday life. Our solid steel pen is handmade in Denmark and designed as a lifelong solution, not a disposable item. Where cheap plastic pens break or dry out, The Pen is made to last and write stably for many years to come.

With our lifetime guarantee, free refills and free shipping throughout Denmark, you get a designer ballpoint pen that both looks beautiful and feels meaningful to use.

In short, The Pen is the last ballpoint pen you will ever need.

What ink color is included?

The Pen comes standard with black ink, but you are free to choose a different color when ordering — blue, green or red. Simply select the desired ink color directly upon purchase.

For a more unique line, you can choose the color that leaves your own mark.

Do I have to refill the ink myself when the pen is empty?

No, you don't have to worry about refilling ink. When your pen runs out, simply replace the refill. It's quick, clean and hassle-free.

How do I refill The Pen?

Unscrew the cap and the top of the body of the pen. Then you take out the refill. If it is stuck in the extension tube, it is important that you keep it. You will need it when you put in the new refill.

Place the refill into the extender if it has remained inside the pen, and do the same if it has come off. Screw the top on and your pen is now refilled.

Remember to remove the blue protective cap on the tip. If your innards are damaged, contact us and we will make a new one for you.

Which refills are suitable for your ballpoint pen?

Only our own refills fit The Pen. They are designed to match the weight, balance and precision of our steel ballpoint pen. You can order your free refills directly in our webshop — you just pay for the stamp , so your designer ballpoint pen is always ready to use.

How does it feel to write with a steel ballpoint pen?

A steel ballpoint pen has a completely different weight and balance than a plastic ballpoint pen. The weight lies perfectly in the hand and provides a stable and fluid writing experience – from quick notes to longer texts. Many describe it as writing more consciously, because the designer ballpoint pen has a natural calm and precision.

Why do you only sell one pen?

A steel ballpoint pen has a completely different weight and balance than a plastic ballpoint pen. The 44g weight sits perfectly in the hand and provides a stable, controlled and fluid writing experience – from quick notes to longer texts. The Pen almost feels like a tool: there is more intention in what you write or draw, and each stroke feels like a small choice.

How do I best care for my designer ballpoint pen?

Your pen is built to last, but we recommend storing it dry and avoiding dropping it hard on rocks or concrete. Should the pen get scratches, it is only part of its patina and character. Simply replace the refill when it is empty – and you will have a steel ballpoint pen that is always ready to use.
