Ystudio

YSTUDIO part d'une idée à contre-courant, et si écrire méritait un objet qu'on garde toute une vie ? La maison taïwanaise, née en 2012, taille ses stylos et ses presse-papiers dans le laiton plein et les matériaux recyclés. Lourds en main, sobres à l'œil, ils foncent et se nuancent au fil des doigts, jusqu'à devenir un objet qui n'appartient qu'à vous.

Brass that comes to life

Brass is not a dead metal. In contact with air and skin, it darkens, mottles, takes on reflections that nothing else can reproduce. A new YSTUDIO pen is clear and sharp; a few months later it bears the trace of every day spent in hand. It's the opposite of an object that wears out; it's an object that tells a story. See the pens and the fountain pens.

Less, but better

The brand's motto says it all: slow down, cherish. No gadgets, no flashy colors, just the material, the weight, and the line. Ballpoint pens, rollers, fountain pens, mechanical pencils, and paperweights share this same minimalist approach. See also the pencils and mechanical pencils and the desk objects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my YSTUDIO pen change color?

It's the patina of brass, and it's intentional. The alloy reacts to air and hand moisture, darkens, and shades over time. Each pen evolves differently depending on how you hold and carry it. Many enthusiasts choose YSTUDIO precisely for this, to see the object age with them.

How to restore the original light brass?

If you don't like the dark shade, a soft cloth with a bit of brass cleaner removes it in a few passes and restores the metal's original shine. It's reversible at will, alternating between the new shine and the depth of use as you wish.

Are YSTUDIO pens heavy to write with?

They have weight, that's their signature, but the weight is well balanced and many find it relaxing, the hand exerts less force. For long pages, hold the pen a little lower, towards the tip, to better balance it. It's a different sensation than light plastic, more grounded.

Are YSTUDIO refills easy to find?

Yes, pens most often use refills with the international standard, easy to repurchase, which guarantees years of worry-free writing. The compatible reference is indicated for each model, whether it's a ballpoint, rollerball, or mechanical pencil.
