Bright Ideas Deserve Better Tools



















Ori – the infinitely refillable highlighter
Bright Ideas Deserve Better Tools
For Ori-ginal thinkers: a tool to bring bold ideas to life, without compromise on refillability, versatility or the joy of creating.
Ori started with a simple question: why are the pens we use every day so… dull? Highlighters are brilliant. They’re bold, they’re punchy, and they bring instant clarity to the page. But they’re also… wasteful. Loud. Disposable. More than 2.6 billion plastic highlighters have been made since 1971 – every single one destined for landfill. We thought there had to be a better way. Because, quite frankly, bright ideas deserve better.
So we reimagined the everyday pen from the ground up – into something joyful, refillable, modular and genuinely exciting to use. A pen designed not just for neat final answers, but for the messy middle bits: the sketches, the notes, the highlights, the sparks. A highlighter reimagined. The Ori Highlighter pairs a smooth Japanese-made chisel tip with refillable, fluoro-bright ink to create a tool that’s designed to last a lifetime.
Please note: The Ori comes with Highlighter tips only – Bullet and Brush tips are available to purchase separately.

What ink can I use?
The Ori is compatible with all of our Fluoro highlighter inks, standard Fountain Pen Inks and Fibre Tip Inks. Please note the Ori is not suitable for use with our Shimmer Fountain Pen Inks or Calligraphy Inks.
How do I store the reservoir and tips?
If a reservoir or tip is inked, it must never be left to dry out. Always store inked parts in an airtight container. If ink dries inside, the reservoir or tip will clog and can’t be used again.
If you want to clean a reservoir, rinse thoroughly to remove all ink, then allow it to dry completely before re-inking.

Love the ink colors the ease and the design of the pens and markers.
So much fun to use! Who knew highlighting could be addictive.
The highlighter is easy to fill, great at highlighting with bright colors that do not bleed through hobonichi paper.
Love these ! Makes highlighting edits for my thesis so much more enjoyable ! Thank you 🙂
Jumped at the chance to replace a series of plastic highlighters with this refillable alternative. As we have come to expect from Tom's Studio, this is beautifully designed and made, with various options for colours as well as two colours per pen. Love the two-toned body that matches the colours supplied. A bit fiddly to refill from the wee bottles that come with the pen (so far have managed to not tip bottle over on my writing desk!) but hopefully larger ink refill bottles will be more stable. Like the o-ring seal to keep tip wet - probably why we need the screw thread rather than a push-on or magnet cap?
