A lot of nows create a ‘forever’
Apirho is a two-function stationary item that promotes the value of time. A pen that writes forever, using its tip that is made of an alloy of Bismuth, Rhodium and Indium, and a base-holder made of recycled marble that indicates time using the shadow of the pen. The idea arose from the desire to portray the symbolism between infinite and finite, so that the passage of time is more noticeable.
We need to reevaluate and embrace the meaning of time and give worth to moments.
Written words will stay forever, while shadows are temporary, just like the period of the now.
