Summer '26 Release

Arizona is the 48th state and somehow it took us this long to realize 48 is divisible by 3, making it perfect for a riff on the CUBE pen holder. The CUBE has evolved over time, initially going from the humble 9-hole original variant and exploding to the 99-hole MegaKube (what we thought was a joke). Since that massive expansion, we've paired back at the request of many of our customers and released the reKtangle 21-hole machined pen holder what we thought would be the "sweet spot". We got a lot of comments of "well, I need two of those, but not the MegaKube"; which led us to the State 48 Machined Pen Holder.

Geared more around the MegaKube, this will be a periodical release with a machined Production Date on the bottom. While not a Limited Edition, the State 48 Machined Pen Holder will be manufactured once or twice a year in small lots of 15-30 total units. This initial release is listed as Prod. 6/26 date with our custom State 48 logo engraved into the bottom of the pen holder. We've then assembled the black Delrin inserts and hand-polished the sides and top to a brilliant shine. Coming in at 9.5 pounds and measuring 14.2" length by 3.2" width by 2.8" height, it will definitely hold down a stack of papers and probably hold down a desk if you have need of something like that.

Customer Reviews (4.7 / 5 · 15 reviews)

Emma ★★★★★

The machined finish is flawless and the whole thing has a nice heft to it—my CUBE sits rock solid on my desk now. The three-sided design actually makes grabbing a pen easier than I expected, which is a small but welcome upgrade.

Abigail ★★★★★

It's a compact little desk companion that fits the hand perfectly, and the machined edges feel properly finished. The cube riff is a nice nod to the state's number, subtle enough that only nerds like me will notice. Solid build, zero wobble, does exactly what it should.

Steven ★★★★★

The three-sided design is such a clever twist—my pens actually stay put instead of rolling off my desk. Took me a second to realize the 48/3 connection, but it's a fun conversation piece that's also genuinely functional.
