Tom's Studio

Tom's Studio was founded by Tom Gyr, a product designer and craftsman based in England. He built his name making calligraphy pens and fountain pens by hand, but grew frustrated with the throwaway nature of the fineliners he used every day. That frustration led to the Lumos: a refillable pen with interchangeable Japanese-made tips that covers fineliner, brush pen, and writing pen in a single body. The housing is precision machined anodised aluminium, available in several colours.

The Tom's Studio range at Penworld includes the Lumos Pro (Single and Duo), the Lumos Mini, the Wren, the Studio Fountain Pen, the Pocket Fountain Pen, and a Mechanical Pencil. The Lumos Pro ships with eleven tips: fineliners from 0.1mm to 1.0mm, chisel, bullet, and brush tips, plus two writing nibs. The Duo puts two tips in one body; the Single trades that for a larger ink reservoir. The Wren is the compact option: pocket sized, same capillary refilling method. All pens work with water-based dye fountain pen inks.

Worn-out tips can be replaced individually with separate pen nibs and tips, so the pen itself never needs to go in the bin. For ink, Tom's Studio fountain pen inks are formulated for the Lumos and Wren, though any dye-based fountain pen ink without particles or binders works equally well.
