The Original Antimicrobial Pen, “Hatch” was designed to take advantage of the innate properties of brass and its remarkable ability to self sterilize. Within a few hours of contact with the brass ions, any bacteria or microorganism dies. While this effect is not new and the concept is centuries old, we don’t currently utilize this materials enormous potential. This antiseptic quality lends itself perfectly to situations where hygiene is a priority, including the medical profession. “Hatch” was designed by Brooklyn based designer Karl Zahn. The pen comes packaged in a sleek black ACME tin with a black refill and ACME literature.


PLEASE NOTE: Although this pen is intended to take full advantage of the antimicrobial properties of raw brass, it comes with a thin coating of clear lacquer. This coating is applied to give the consumer a new and polished pen. However, this coating will slowly wear away over time, exposing the raw brass and its properties. The clear coating can also be removed quickly by using a cloth with a solvent like lacquer thinner, but DO NOT soak the pen in any solvent.

About the designer:

KARL ZAHN
KARL ZAHN is a freelance product and furniture designer in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. His work examines contemporary materials and historical technologies in an attempt to create modern hybrids that are more applicable, beautiful and sustainable. While the product design portion of his work is driven by problem solving and necessity, the furniture side expresses his pared down simplicity and stark aesthetic as a blend of modernist hard lines and surfaces with a Danish sensitivity to materials and joinery. Each piece is designed to withstand the passing of trends and foster complex relationships that grow more endearing over time. BFA ID Rhode Island School of Design, 2003.

This pen has such unique and special qualities that there was a write-up about it in the Wall Street Journal (WSJ).
