Description
the ceremonial signature pen is a conceptual writing instrument designed for meaningful and formal signing moments. its inkless metal tip, inspired by Ethergraf technology, leaves a permanent mark through oxidation without the need for ink or refills, reinforcing the idea of permanence and commitment. this project was developed through an AI-driven workflow. i initiated the concept direction through sketching, while form evolution, surface articulation, and visual refinement were generated using artificial intelligence. the engraving pattern was extracted from a stained-glass (Vitrail) artwork and computationally transformed into engraving-compatible geometry, then integrated onto the metallic body. the final renderings were also produced using AI, resulting in a fully AI-developed conceptual prototype.
