Montegrappa Elmo 02 Cortina Fountain Pen

Montegrappa Elmo 02 Cortina Fountain Pen

Debonair simplicity

Montegrappa Elmo 02 Cortina Fountain Pen exemplifies a time when portable writing instruments were fighting for widespread adoption.  Resourcefulness and creativity were needed to meet contemporary tastes and budgets. Period-correct flourishes are found in shallow conical ends, a ‘ski-jump’ grip section and a brass ‘cummerbund’ clip design that channels the panache of the 1920s – with traces of early art deco. A suite of sophisticated marbled finishes offers expressive alternatives to the formality of standard jet black.  Swirling textures are created randomly during blending, making every example unique. ‘Elmo’-brand pens were often recognised for their stylistic and industrial inventiveness.  Built in our present-day manufactory, their evolution helped inform more than a century of Montegrappa style.
