ABOUT
Pen and Arthur are originally from Taiwan, and they now reside in North Vancouver, BC. Pen has a background in graphic design and illustration, and Arthur is a software engineer and has a passion for machines and maker technology. The studio was created as they were wanting to do something creative in the garage they had, a space that is unheard of in Taiwan with high density living and very limited space. The material they chose to play with was wood, which came naturally as they were extremely astonished and inspired by the abundance of greenery in North Vancouver. ArtPen Studio is the perfect place to merge Pen and Arthur’s different passions to create whimsical, functional and heart-warming wooden products.
