The Helios™ Pen balances the forces of gravity and resistance to literally "float" in space. The four-sided ballpoint is chrome over brass, with twist-top action, and writes in black. There are eight sleek, modern magnetic bases that will keep the pen in virtual flight forever. It’s the ultimate desk conversation piece. “Its modern, quality design and science ‘spin’ make it ideal for … markets looking for highly unique, fun products,” Shawna Elliott, in marketing for Boing! Designs told TDmonthly. Launch date: October 2007.
