OHTO Vi-Vic Ballpoint Pen

The OHTO Vi-Vic Ballpoint matches the No-Noc mechanical pencil. We love the designer styling, and OHTO have managed to make an unusual shape into a pen that's really practical to use - not something all designers manage!

Like the No-Noc, the strong aluminium barrel comes in a range of bright, modern colours and is narrow in the middle, widening out to each end, in a way that feels comfortable to hold, as well as looking good. It reminds us of old cinema logos like CinemaScope, yet in this case, has quite a modern feel to it. A simple metal clip and push-button finish one end, while the tip part is finished in matt black.

To keep the design practical to use, OHTO have given it a ridged grip section. Combined with the widening shape towards the tip, this makes a comfortable shape to hold, making this much more of a practical pen to use than a pretty desk accessory. Supplied fitted with a Parker-style needlepoint black refill.

We're not sure why it's called what it is, but maybe it's because 'Vi-Vic' has the same ring to it as 'No-Noc'. Who knows?
