Postalco
Tokyo, Japan
Postalco designs objects and clothing for a well-considered life. The collection is inspired by the every day, the objects that we find ourselves interacting with the most. Created with the human experience in mind, there's a focus on form and function always with a natural, simplistic beauty. Postalco pieces encourage a new kind of connection with an object. It's a type of relationship, considering the thing to be “collaborator” in our life instead of approaching items with a disposable mindset.

These items are meant to be used frequently and with intention and the collection includes though not limited to: Clothing, Rainwear, Pens, Key Holders, Bags, Paper Goods, and others. Each piece in the collection has a commitment in showcasing and highlighting Japanese craft.
Postalco Channel Point Pen Grid
$396
Individually crafted solid metal ballpoint pen with a unique U-clip. The entire body is cut from solid aluminum while the clip is cut from solid brass. We found this combination gives the pen the solid feeling we love without being heavy. Included ink cartridge: SXR-5 0.5mm waterproof ink. Instead of a plastic or rubber grip, there are fine record-like lines inscribed into the pen body. Lines cut into the clip give just the grip needed and also create a subtle graph pattern. It feels refined: less like a tool and more like an instrument. This pen embraces traditional craft but with the goal of blending it into everyday contemporary life. Satisfying mechanicsThe clip is also the button that exposes the tip of the ballpoint. Pushing on the top exposes the pen tip, while pressing on the front retracts it. details Made in JapanSolid Aluminum & Brass1 x 14.7 x 1.4 cm / 0.4" x 5.9" x 0.6" Care Instructions
