What is the most popular ballpoint pen in the world?
With the Biro Pen Laszlo Biro had never achieved mass market success, but the designs of his invention were licensed by a French manufacturer Marcel Bich (1914-1994) for two million dollars.
Bich invested in leading design and technologies of the time and presented his ballpoint pen in 1950.
In 1953 his Bic Company began to sell a plastic, cheap to manufacture, and incredibly usable writing instrument.
It was the Bic Cristal that achieved unsurmounted commercial success.
Since it went into production in the 1950s, over 100 billion Bic Cristals have been sold, more than any other writing instrument in history.
After eighty years, the design of the most popular pen in the world remains mostly unchanged.
The Museum of Modern Art in New York City recognized the Bic Cristal's industrial design by introducing it into the museum's permanent collection .
