Newel Stair

Store pens by length in a winding stair of cups

A pen tower that climbs like a spiral staircase round its newel. Four cups wind upward round a tall central post, each a step higher than the last, so short pencils sit low at the front and long brushes stand in the newel, and you reach each height by turning the stair.
