Pininfarina
Pininfarina is an iconic Italian design brand known for its work in the automotive industry, particularly for designing some of the most beautiful and legendary cars. Founded in 1930 by Battista โPininโ Farina, the company is renowned for its collaboration with major car manufacturers, including Ferrari, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, and more.
Later on , the brand has extended its design expertise into luxury stationery, particularly pens. Pininfarina pens combine cutting-edge design with high-quality materials, blending art and functionality in writing instruments. In particular, they are characterized by sleek, aerodynamic lines that reflect the brandโs heritage in automotive design with a minimalist and futuristic aesthetic.
Some of the most iconic models are:
- Forever Primaย is a designed pen with an elongated conical shape, awarded the GranDesign Etico International Award. Its body is made of anodized aluminum, topped with an Ethergraf tip, crafted from a patented metal alloy. The tip contains no lead or aluminum, is handmade by Italian craftsmen, and barely wears out even after decades of use.
- Pininfarina Cambianoย features elegant lines and bold design choices, made from various materials. This everlasting pen also has a unique writing tip made from the patented Ethergraf metal alloy. When it touches the paper, the tip leaves a silvery mark similar to a graphite pencil but more resistant. It writes perfectly on stone paper.
- Aeroย is another everlasting pen. Pininfarinaโs designers created this new model, after being inspired by the power, shape and beauty of airflows. Elegant yet sturdy, the pen contrasts with a heavy concrete base: even seemingly incompatible things can create harmony. The penโs body is very light, made from aerospace aluminum. Its elegant shape resembles the infinity symbol.
