THE OBJECT / 01Performance thinking,
Performance thinking,
held in one hand.
Valkyrie is a compact ballpoint concept that translates aerodynamic efficiency into a tactile everyday object. A forged-carbon structural spine carries twin Venturi channels, while the dark titanium grip and acid-lime deployment ring turn function into a precise visual event.
DESIGN INSPIRATION / 02Reference translated.
Reference translated.
Never replicated.
The Aston Martin Valkyrie informed the project through principles: exposed lightweight structure, air-shaped surfaces, technical darkness and a highly controlled flash of colour.

FORM DEVELOPMENT
Tri-oval architecture
An anti-roll cross-section gives the pen a stable resting position and a recognisable end profile.
45° deployment
A short twist extends the pen from 94 to 127 millimetres, marked by the acid-lime ring.
Flush micro-clip
The low-profile clip follows the forged-carbon spine instead of interrupting the silhouette.
CONCEPT SELECTION / 04Three routes.
Three routes.
One decisive direction.
Monocoque, Aero Spine and Venturi explored different expressions of structural performance. Venturi was selected for its balance of identity, ergonomics and manufacturable detail.
MATERIAL JUNCTION / 05Carbon.
Carbon.
Titanium.
Acid lime.
Three materials, each assigned a clear role: structure, touch and interaction.
An everyday instrument
with hypercar discipline.
The result is a compact, refillable writing concept with a distinctive silhouette and every visible feature tied to grip, deployment, carry or structure.
