designC – 100 Years Otto Hutt

Mark Braun, globally renowned as an unusual product designer, draws inspiration from the progressive design concepts of the Bauhaus movement. The common elements in his and Otto Hutt’s design philosophies laid the foundation for a very special collaboration on the occasion of the company’s 100th anniversary. This resulted in a timeless writing instrument – designC.

Limited to 500 pieces. Worldwide.

designC combines a familiar language, which can be found in many Otto Hutt writing instruments, with pioneering influences. It interprets the philosophy of the Bauhaus in a form-focused and timeless way in a lateral thinking way.
