We’re sure you know this moment by heart:
It is 10am, coffee is made, sunlight fills your working space and your creativity has stopped to obey any output of your computer screen. Your index finger is stuck in silence over your mouse pad, or you are left to stare at your tablet, feeling the creative crisis arising.
It is the moment where you have three choices:
- Go for walk and get yourself in the flow again
- Keep starring at the monitor and feel yourself running down the panic mode spiral
- Grab a pen and let your inner thoughts and feelings drop on paper – to get empty to become full with ideas again

Art into industry – About rOtring’s design philosophy
rOtring was born in 1928, in the era of the influential Bauhaus design school in Germany. A small red ring on the barrel of each pen became the signature of the brand. rOtring became famous when their designer brought to life the first multifunction pen combining the pencil, ballpoint pen and marker into a single barrel. This gave rise to the iconic design collections – the rOtring 600 and later the 800 series of pens and mechanical pencils.
