Product Description
Pineider Limited Edition Forged Carbon Rose Trim Fountain Pen
For over 200 years Pineider has been a referent for printing, writing and leather goods. Located in Florentine where surrounding businesses include some of the world's leading luxury brands. Carbon Dream, a company established in 1993, is a leader in Italy and worldwide in the manufacturer of products derived from composite materials and has been used by Ferrari in Formula 1, from Bugatti to Ducati, and even in luxury yachts.
Cooperation between Pineider and Carbon Dream led to the making of the first pen ever made in Forged Carbon. Assisted by the 10 engineers and technicians working with Carbon Dream, Pineider has produced the mould and perfected the technology required to adapt Forged Carbon for writing implements.
What is traditionally known as carbon fibre is, in actual fact, a fabric of thin fibers held together by a resin. It is lightweight and resistant but has many limitations, especially if it is used for writing implements, such as creating complex curves or different inner and outer profiles. Forged composite material forgoes weaving, using carefully arranged fibers mixed with resin, which forms in a heated press at high pressure. The resulting compound is strong in every direction without the additional cost or complexity of having to add more than one layer of material the way you need to do with woven carbon fibers. In Pineider's patent, the polarization of the magnets makes for a soft opening and even more satisfying closure: you can open the pen slowly or you can watch it rotate on itself in your fingers while waiting to hear the pen close. The 14kt gold nib was designed to be ultraflexible, responding easily to your hands movements, creating beautiful strokes. The Pineider Forged Carbon Rose Gold is limited to 188 pieces worldwide.
