Elmo 01
Montegrappa - Elmo 01
Montegrappa
is best known for designing pens beyond the fantasies – and budgets –
of the average handwriting enthusiast, but the Italian company’s latest
release sees a return to its more modest roots and the vision of its
original co-founder, Heinrich ‘Elmo’ Helm.
The factory that today
produces the world’s most indulgent pens was, from 1912 to 1928, leading
the charge to democratise writing.
Back then, portable pens were an
emerging technology fraught with problems and still seeking wide
acceptance as tools of knowledge and networking.
Helm was the
company’s first technical director – a figure with an industriousness
and optimism reminiscent of today’s tech entrepreneurs.
His know-how
and charisma inspired the fledgling company to name its first products
after him, and Elmo pens would go on to be mainstays of Italian offices
and schools for decades to come.
The Elmo 01 is a compact, all-round pen that recalls the international style popularised by Bauhaus throughout the 1920s.
During
that era, Helm would steer his company away from the archetypes of
dipping pens and design new solutions that catered for contemporary
lifestyles.
Portability, reliability and efficiency were his mantra.
In
2019, pens are again being sought out as essential items of every day
carry and the Elmo 01 is among the first European-made pens to cater for
this resurgence.
Handmade from resin and stainless steel, it brings
robust, all-round performance, honest simplicity and a century of
know-how to prestige stationery.
The Elmo 01 is available as a fountain pen, rollerball and ballpoint pen.
