【ABOUT THE BRAND】
Penco is the premier brand of the Japanese stationery house Hightide, founded in Fukuoka, Japan, in 1994. The brand’s name—short for "Pen Company"—originally began with a single ballpoint pen inspired by classic American craftsmanship. Since its inception, Penco has grown into a world-renowned stationery line that celebrates the "Golden Age" of mid-century industrial design.
Penco is celebrated for its "Analog Architecture"—a philosophy that blends the rugged, functional aesthetics of 1950s Americana with the meticulous quality and clever engineering of modern Japanese manufacturing. Every product is designed to feel like a rediscovered treasure from an old hardware store or a vintage campus bookstore, offering a tactile and nostalgic experience for the digital age.
