設計理念
Concept of Design
In our daily life, it is so easy and natural to pick up a pen and write. For children without hands or with either hand disabled, however, writing is an impossible mission. Plant Pen is specially designed for these children. There are two versions available: one for mouth and the other for foot. The design has passed in a series of ergonomic tests where they were to verify the final configuration of the pen in terms of shape, size, and angle, seeing if user can easily fetch, hold, operate, and place it. The mouth one applies to outdoor activity, while the foot one is adjustable as per user’s request. Young kids will feel how free they can express thoughts via the pen, stroke by stroke, word after word. A shining hope comes from the writing with Plant Pen, which assures better future.

Foot Plant Pen:
1. Fits well with different feet
It has curves meeting Ergonomic Design which is close to user's skin with comfort. It covers bendable tongue piece in silicone which applies to different sizes of toes; the bendable design is fixed after insertion which relieves pressure of the toe while clipping it and writing.

2. Easy to control
In order to improve issues incurred with tough movement, instable holding and constricted range while clipping it with your foot, the addiction of the wheel in the base enables to increase mobility, facilitating its simple and easy operation.

3. Convenient to fix up
Simple assembly urges user to refill on his own.
