A Japanese Leather Pen Tray for Your Fountain Pen
The Tatsuno Leather Hex Pen Tray – Slim combines sleek, minimalist design with the rich tradition of Japanese craftsmanship. Its slim, hexagonal shape adds a sophisticated touch to any desk, while providing a perfect resting place for your favorite fountain pen.

Handcrafted in Toyama by a husband-and-wife duo, this tray is shaped using the traditional kawa shibori leather molding technique. The Tatsuno leather is vegetable-tanned and then carefully molded without stitching, preserving its natural texture and providing a tactile, soft surface that becomes even more beautiful with use.

The tray’s reverse side is finished with pig suede, offering an elegant contrast to the main leather surface. This subtle detail adds a unique touch of sophistication, enhancing the tray’s overall design.

The Tatsuno leather, sourced from Tatsuno City in Hyogo Prefecture, is renowned for its durability and rich texture. Produced using unfinished vegetable tanning, the leather retains its natural markings and irregularities, which deepen and enrich with time and use. This leather, nourished by the mild climate and mineral-rich waters of the Seto Inland Sea, is a true embodiment of the craftsmanship and heritage of the Tatsuno region.

This Japanese pen tray is the perfect Japanese desk accessory for those who value their tools. It brings a sense of calm and order to your workspace, and makes for a thoughtful and lasting gift for anyone who appreciates fine craftsmanship.

Timeless Leather Artistry from Toyama, Japan

At the foot of Japan’s Northern Alps, in the peaceful town of Toyama, a designer and a former shoemaker husband-and-wife duo are quietly reshaping the future of leather craftsmanship. This is colmdesign—a brand where contemporary design meets time-honored technique.

Each piece is formed using a rare leather-molding process known as kawa shibori, which combines vegetable-tanned leather with 3D data modeling and CNC-machined molds. The result is a seamless fusion of digital precision and warm, organic texture—shaped not only by tools, but by hands that understand the soul of the material.

Their leather of choice is Tatsuno leather, sourced from Hyogo Prefecture—Japan’s renowned tanning region. Deeply committed to the beauty of aging, they choose this leather for its expressive grain, natural variation, and rich patina that grows more personal over time. Every tray is not just made, but evolved—over conversations with trusted tanners, through shaping by skilled hands, and with an eye for subtle imperfection.

While the husband brings his background in product and graphic design into development and communication, his wife—once a shoemaker in Osaka—handles each step of production with the steady expertise born from years of working with leather. Together, they build products they truly want to use themselves—uncompromising in form, function, and feel.

This pen tray, crafted from molded Tatsuno leather, is one of their signature pieces. Minimalist yet tactile, structured yet alive—it invites you to pause, write, and appreciate the quiet luxury of handcrafted design.
