Note: When removing the supports, simply lift them gently upward—as shown in Figure 2—and they’ll come off with ease.

This vintage Gothic pen holder draws inspiration from medieval church architecture, transforming iconic elements like Gothic pointed arches, rose windows, and intricate openwork motifs into a practical, functional desktop accessory. The piece is crafted using an integrated molding process, with the main body made from matte, stone‑like resin or 3D‑printed material in a weathered gray‑green hue that evokes the aged, time‑worn character of natural stone.

The pen holder consists of two distinct components: a cylindrical pen barrel and a rectangular tray. The outer wall of the pen barrel faithfully replicates the double‑layered pointed arches found in Gothic cathedrals, while the internal, hollowed-out patterns not only lend the structure a lightweight, airy feel but also subtly reveal the pens and writing instruments stored within. The tray’s edges are adorned with delicate, spire‑shaped railings and flowing vine motifs—both to prevent stationery from slipping off and to enhance the overall sense of ritual and elegance.

Functionally, the pen barrel can hold fountain pens, quill pens, and other writing tools, while the tray provides a convenient surface for notes, seals, or ink bottles. At the heart of the design lies the principle of “harmonizing function with narrative”: when a quill pen is inserted into the pen barrel, it feels as though one has stepped back into the world of medieval monks meticulously copying sacred texts, infusing everyday writing with a touch of retro sophistication and ceremonial grace.
