Penco
Founded in 1994 as a core brand of the Fukuoka-based Hightide group, Penco is a Japanese stationery icon that celebrates "mid-century Americana" with a refined, analog twist. Short for Pen Company, the brand was born from a single ballpoint pen and has since evolved into a full range of retro-inspired desk tools. Their signature is the blend of industrial aesthetics with playful functionality—think golden-clipped clipboards, vibrant storage caddies, and drafting pencils. Everything is designed in Japan to evoke the nostalgia of an old-school hardware store while meeting modern creative needs.
