Montegrappa Venetia Rollerball Pen, Lagoon Green

A new name was not the only thing to distinguish Venetian writing instruments made in the late 1920s. During resurgent years for artisanal industry, daring industrial design typified many of the region’s finest exports. In this archival reissue, subtle flourishes reveal traces of local enterprise and pride. Skilled machining and frugal use of gold-plated brass elevate form without compromising on function.
