I realize that picking a pen up off of a tabletop, or plucking it from your desktop organizer are not ergonomically-challenging tasks; but I'm still digging this pen that stands up by itself, making it easy to grab.
The Slanda pen is manufactured by Sweden-based Gustav Innovation. (Slanda means "dragonfly" in Swedish, cluing you in as to where the shape's inspiration came from.) The pen doesn't have a cap; you just pick it up and start writing. And while the product copy's a bit over-philosophized (hit the jump to read it), I won't let it detract from the coolness of the product.
