Product Description
S.T. Dupont Line D Gradient Rollerball Pen
S.T. Dupont are renowned worldwide for producing writing instruments of exceptional
quality and the new ‘Gradient collection’, is no exception, showcasing S.T. Dupont’s expert
ability to apply natural lacquer to writing instruments of the highest quality.
Available in two distinct finishes, ‘La Flamme’ and ‘La Mer’, each pen offers a remarkable
display of color. Luxurious hues are blended to give a subtle ‘gradient’ effect. Offered in
S.T. Dupont’s iconic large Line D, each pen echoes the ethereal forces of nature: Fire and
Water.
Each writing instrument is crafted entirely at the S.T. Dupont factory in Faverges, France
and is made utilizing ancient Japanese and Chinese lacquer techniques. Each pen passes
through a two-stage production process. First, up to 9 Layers of sumptuous natural
lacquer are hand painted to the brass barrel of each pen, the result is a pearl like shimmer
and a luxurious finish that is resistant to shocks, scratches and even fire. Once this base
lacquer is polished and prepared, the second stage involves spraying an additional
pearlescent lacquer in small spurts to give the pens unique ‘gradient’ effect.
The collection is available as a fountain pen and rollerball, and comes in two beautiful
designs:
La Flamme: Orange and yellow hues are blended and accented by black PVD trims
La Mer: Turquoise and blue hues are blended and accented by trims in palladium
La Flamme, an homage to the essence of the flame, is adorned with fiery hues that
capture the imagination with its vibrant warmth. The gradient transitions from a bright
yellow at the top of the cap, to warm orange, to bright red, tapering at the end of the pen
to a deep burgundy red.
Alongside it, La Mer’s beautiful cerulean and azure gradient design stands as a tribute to
the shifting, endless ebbs and flows of the tides of the sea. The gradient flows from a
vibrant light blue at the cap, to a velvety dark blue, and lightens up to a serene light blue at
the base of the pen.
This iconic oversized S.T. Dupont pen features the bold Dupont blazon on the articulated
clip, an enhanced Dupont 'D' in the crown of the cap and a perfectly balanced shape for
exceptional writing. The pen cap closes with Dupont's iconic 'cling' and features a fluted
grip section for a superb writing experience. The cap comfortably posts on the back of the
pen with a delicate ‘snap’. Each pen is presented in an S.T. Dupont gift box.
