Tatsuno Leather Hex Pen Tray – Wide
Designed for those who appreciate spacious elegance, the Tatsuno Leather Hex Pen Tray – Wide offers a refined home for your writing tools. Its extended hexagonal shape provides enough room for a fountain pen and an ink bottle, bringing both function and beauty to your desk.
This tray is crafted with vegetable-tanned Tatsuno leather on the top, offering a smooth, structured surface that gently cradles your pen. The reverse side is lined with soft suede in a contrasting color, giving the piece an added sense of depth and a quiet luxury that reveals itself when handled. Every edge and facet is formed through traditional leather molding techniques, shaped precisely without stitching using CNC-milled 3D molds.
The leather is produced in Tatsuno City, Hyogo Prefecture, where over 400 years of tanning history continue to thrive. The unfinished vegetable tanning process preserves the leather’s natural character, allowing it to develop a deep, rich patina with time. The mild Seto Inland Sea climate and mineral-rich water from the Ibo River play a key role in creating leather that is supple, durable, and full of life.
This Japanese pen tray is not just a place to store your tools. It is a celebration of craft and care, made to enrich the small moments of your daily writing practice.

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.
