Then is the most restrained expression of the ConCoPens lacquer collection, focusing on the depth and warmth of traditional Vietnamese lacquer without decorative shell inlay. Built over a natural wood core, the pen is finished through repeated applications of natural lacquer, followed by curing and hand polishing.
The dark surface reveals subtle tonal variation under changing light, giving the pen a quiet, contemplative presence. Its appeal lies in the purity of the lacquer work itself, allowing material, polish, and proportion to define the design.
