ACME Studio Mercury 4-Function Pen (Designed by Adrian Olabuenaga)
This pen was created by Adrian Olabuenaga, co-owner of ACME Studio. Adrian Olabuenaga was born in 1955 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, but grew up and was educated in Los Angeles, California. Raised with an architectural background, he has from a young age been inspired by architecture, design and art. Primarily working in a medium of functional art, his first solo show was in 1983, featuring his famous art radios and furniture. In 1985, he founded ACME Studios with his wife Lesley Bailey. His jewelry designs were included in the "MEMPHIS Designers for ACME" collection, as suggested by Ettore Sottsass. His necklace "Atomic" from that collection won him an award with DESIGN Plus, Germany. His brooch and earrings from the same collection were featured in the MEMPHIS exhibition in 2005, at Museum of Decorative Arts in Frankfurt , Germany. Not only is he the CEO and creative director of ACME, but he also currently designs for Ritzenhoff, Boeing, Disney, Mercedes Benz, Warner Bros, and many others, as well as creating corporate identities and branding for many companies.

ACME Studios is an international product design company, which produces and markets writing instruments, stationery accessories, watches, men's silk ties, men's accessories, and other design objects. Its products are the result of cooperation with the world's leading architects, designers, artists, foundations, estates and institutions. ACME Studios was founded in Los Angeles in 1985 by Adrian Olabuenaga and his wife, Lesley Bailey. ACME made its first appearance with a limited edition collection of jewelry designed for them by Peter Shire, the LA-based member of the world renowned Memphis Group. In 1996, ACME began to organize a new category to explore; writing instruments! The first collection, which featured designs by Frank Lloyd Wright, Piet Mondrian, Michael Graves, Keith Haring, Kenny Scharf and others, was released in 1997 at the New York Stationery Show, to an overwhelming response. Starting in 2000, ACME revolutionized writing instruments by developing several new pen making techniques, which allows the designer to create new shapes, and new pen technology, using a variety of materials. In 2009, ACME went further and produced the first biodegradable, disposable pen with an ergonomic and also Earth-friendly design. Always on the cutting edge of design, ACME's writing tools revolutionized a new concept in the pen industry. Having collaborated with hundreds of top designers over the years, ACME has secured their reputation in both the pen and design industries with their fine writing tools.
