This all-metal pen with a magnetic activation system combines premium with fun

Cooler than any space pen you’ll ever find, the Lazlo is a uniquely alluring pen with an all-metal design and a fidget-worthy magnetic system. Designed by the folks at Makers Cabinet, Lazlo adds to their kit of high-end desirable and functional stationery, which all started with the HØVEL, an unconventional sharpening tool inspired by the planer – a popular woodworking tool.

Named after Laszlo Biro, the inventor of the popular ballpoint pen we so commonly use today, the eponymous pen celebrates almost 85 years since Biro unveiled his invention to the world. It comes with a Schmidt MegaLine ballpoint refill on the inside (a highly sophisticated writing module based on a gas-pressurized system), and is triggered by a patent-pending dipole magnetic mechanism that works with a simple twist. A textured knob on the rear of the pen engages the magnets, causing them to either attract or repel based on their orientation. This pushes the refill either into the pen, or outwards, allowing you to write!

The Patent Pending Mechanism – Diametrically opposed neodymium magnets rotate bi-directionally to engage and disengage the cartridge to create an unparalleled crisp click.

A Satisfying, Balanced Weight – The profile is marginally tapered, forming an elegant shape which is both comfortable in your hand and balanced in weight.

The Lazlo comes in brass as well as aluminum variants, both offering their own merits. The aerospace-grade aluminum offers a more lightweight writing experience at just 40 grams, and comes in a matte silver finish that some would appreciate, since it pairs rather well with the anodized aluminum bodies of laptops. For others, the brass Lazlo has a distinct gravitas. It weighs 65 grams, offering a more stable, weighted writing experience, and the brass patinas over time, giving the Lazlo a more personalized vintage touch with prolonged use… something an old-fashioned purist would appreciate much more.

Longevity Tested to 80+ Years of Use.

Featuring Schmidt – The Schmidt MegaLine ballpoint refill is a highly sophisticated writing module based on a gas-pressurized system. This enables you to not only write upside down but also in the most extreme environmental conditions.

The Drop Stand.

Each pen is built to last generations with sustained use, and maintaining your Lazlo is designed to be simple too. The front of the pen screws off, allowing you to access the refill and replace it from time to time, and the Lazlo is designed to accommodate euro-styled refills too. Whether you choose the brass or aluminum variant, each Lazlo comes with a removable metal clip, making it easy to carry around in your lapel pocket, or you could opt for Makers Cabinet’s leather sheath designed specifically for carrying the Lazlo. If you’re more of the kind of person to keep your pen on a tabletop surface, the designers also offer an exquisite-looking Drop Stand machined from metal too, which lets you dock your Lazlo in a perfectly vertical position, so it’s easy to grab when you want to write, and admire at other times!

This all-metal pencil holder will extend the life of your pencils and last generations




Turn your pencil stub into a gloriously fine writing instrument.

Meet the Ferrule, probably the most significant improvement to wooden pencils since they started putting erasers on the opposite end. The Ferrule is a brass pencil enclosure and extender. It upgrades the feeling of using a tiny, frail wooden pencil by enclosing it in a hexagonal brass body that gives you confident strokes, thanks to its weight, and a much more premium writing and drawing experience.

The Ferrule works with all standard pencils (7-8mm in width) up to 120mm in length. Designed to function as a high-end pencil sleeve, the Ferrule works with short pencil stubs too, giving you a consistent premium writing experience throughout. It opens and closes with a simple twisting action, allowing you to lock or release the pencil within with a satisfying click. The opposite end has a holder for erasers too, upgrading your entire writing experience by turning the humble wooden pencil into an incredibly luxurious and premium writing/sketching experience.

The body of the pencil holder comes intricately machined out of brass, with an innovative clutch mechanism that tightly grips the pencil. Designed by the fine folks at Makers Cabinet (who also created the Iris circle-master, and the Stria ruler), the Ferrule comes after months of design iterations focusing on finding that perfect balance between eye-catching form and exquisite function. The result is a brass instrument that transitions from a cylindrical profile to a hexagonal one, creating visual drama while also ensuring the pencil doesn’t roll around on your table. At 45 grams, it has just the right amount of weight to help you draw or write confidently. While being slim enough to fit right inside your stationery kit or even your backpack, the Ferrule is the kind of pencil-holder you’d want to show off, hence the presence of a pocket-clip that lets you keep your pencil close to your chest, letting you easily access it while also allowing you to carry it with pride, like the luxury EDC it is. Each Ferrule ships with 6 cedar pencils (3 HB and 3 2B) and 3 eraser-sticks that fix right on top. As an add-on, you can even grab the Ferrule Sheath, a cover-case made from Badalassi Carlo leather, a set of slick-grey notebooks courtesy of London-based stationery brand Mark + Fold. To complete the premium experience, however, I’d suggest pairing the Ferrule with Makers Cabinet’s HØVEL sharpener, a beautifully complementary brass sharpener inspired by traditional woodworking tools.

The Cedar Pencil

In collaboration with Kitaboshi in Japan, the team have sourced the highest quality pencils one can find, available in both HB and 2B. They use PEFC Certified incense cedar which is not painted but rather has a light coat of natural nitrous cellulose. Unlike lacquered or painted pencils, our pencils will be fully biodegradable and will not contribute to micro-plastics which are harmful to our natural environment.

The folding ruler gets immortalized with a beautiful all-metal construction

Designed by Makers Cabinet, the same people who brought us the exquisite IRIS circle-master with the aperture-inspired mechanism, the Stria is a reinterpretation of the folding ruler, crafted entirely out of steel or brass. The Stria builds on Makers Cabinet’s series of fine stationery, joining the IRIS circle-maker and Hovel pencil sharpener. With two metallic arms pivoted around a center, and a dovetail hinge for more precise movement, the Stria revives a classic, making it better, more long-lasting, and more of a collector’s item.

Available in a choice between matte steel and mirror-finish brass, the Stria comes with edge-to-edge markings for more accurate measurements and opens up to double in size, allowing you to create long straight lines. The metal build means lower tolerances, resulting in more precise control, and the dovetail hinge comes with its own thumbscrew to let you tighten or loosen the hinge’s movement. Open the Stria and the hinge intuitively snaps at 45° increments, giving you wonderful tactile feedback as you operate it, and the hinge itself is engineered to be highly durable and can be used for years before being passed down to younger generations, just like a finely crafted fountain pen.

Like all of Makers Cabinet’s stationery, the Stria is designed to last a lifetime, and to be the kind of stationery your hands and eyes will fall in love with, over and over again!

Stria Ruler – Unfolding Creativity

The Stria is an elegant portable folding ruler machined from solid brass or steel designed to last a lifetime. Sketch, draw and measure whilst on the move.

The Stria lays perfectly tight and flat on the page with its dovetail hinge with tactile feedback that’s flexible enough to use on various sized paper.

Folded or Open

Folded

Stria will always settle neatly as you write, measure or cut. When extended, it lies angled to your page for ease of use.

Expanded

Edge to edge markings makes precision measuring effortless. Stria is double-sided with a 30cm scale on one side and 11.8″ on the other. The scale includes 0.5mm measurements up to the 5cm mark.

Craft & Design

Stria consists of two arms that pivot around a dovetail hinge. The hinge is engineered to be highly durable, meaning you can count on passing down Stria for generations. It incorporates a grub screw to adjust the friction within the hinge, allowing you to set the perfect resistance for Stria. Tightening the hinge is done with the special thumb screw which comes with every Stria.

Opening Stria is gracefully smooth, paired with tactile feedback to intuitively click into place at 45° increments. Stria creates lines and angles with unmatched satisfaction.

Time Honoured Materials

Stria is available in two high-quality materials and finishes, both are refined and durable. The Brass Stria is mirror polished with sandblasted details and laser engraved markings which increase visual contrast.

The brass will oxidize with use, cultivating a timeline of your creative moments. Brass Stria can easily be returned to its original shine with a quick polish.

Stainless Steel offers unmatched durability with its stone-ground finish. Stainless Steel will not oxidise and is effortlessly maintained.
