Renew Replaceable Refill Marker is an innovative writing instrument designed to address the sustainability and usability challenges associated with traditional markers through its unique refillable system. Developed by designers Zhen Zhang and Yanan Sun, this marker features a sophisticated twist-mechanism that allows users to quickly disassemble the pen body and replace the ink refill, significantly extending the product's lifespan and reducing waste. The design incorporates several thoughtful features, including a flexible nib with specially designed grooves that ensure optimal contact with the paper surface, resulting in smooth, consistent lines. The marker's body, constructed from a combination of plastic and rubber materials with a fiber tip, measures 160mm in length and 15mm in both width and height. A particularly noteworthy aspect of the design is its intuitive color-coding system, where the cap corresponds to the pen holder color and includes shape indicators for tip thickness, while the cap's tilt direction aligns with the pen tip orientation for improved user experience. The development process, which took place in Beijing during late 2021, focused on solving common issues with traditional markers, such as inefficient refilling methods and inconsistent ink flow. The innovative solution draws inspiration from battery replacement mechanisms, resulting in a design that earned recognition with a Silver A' Design Award in the Art and Stationery Supplies Design category, acknowledging its contribution to advancing sustainable writing instrument design through its user-friendly refill system, ergonomic considerations, and environmental consciousness.
