Montegrappa | Elmo Collection
.
Elmo Fantasy Bloom Collection. Now, a selection of brilliant pearlized resin finishes brings extra dash of pocket/purse-appeal to one of the market*s trendiest silhouettes, the Bauhaus-era Elmo 01, a selection of vivid, flower-bed colors- Iris, Lily, and Blue Cross Gentian. Montegrappa*s latest release sees a return to its more modest roots and the vision of its original co-founder, Heinrich *Elmo* Helm. The factory that today produces the world*s most indulgent pens was, from 1912 to 1928, leading the charge to democratize writing. Back then, portable pens were an emerging technology fraught with problems and still seeking wide acceptance as tools of knowledge and networking. Helm was the company*s first technical director, a figure with an industriousness and optimism reminiscent of today*s tech entrepreneurs. His know-how and charisma inspired the fledgling company to name its first products after him, and Elmo pens would go on to be mainstays of Italian offices and schools for decades to come. The Elmo 01 is a compact, all-around pen that recalls the international style popularized by Bauhaus throughout the 1920s. During that era, Helm would steer his company away from the archetypes of dipping pens and design new solutions that catered to contemporary lifestyles. Portability, reliability and efficiency were his mantra. The smooth stainless-steel nib is available in XF, F, M, B and 1.1 mm stub widths, cartridge/converter fill with the converter included. Handmade from resin and stainless steel, it brings robust, all-around performance, honest simplicity and a century of know-how to prestige stationery.
