Analysing a complex 1930s silhouette through 3D modelling, Montegrappa discovered a solution of extraordinary geometric elegance, far more elaborate than it appears at first glance.
The mid-century decorative design is transformed into a writing instrument with unmatched nuance, rigour and ergonomic precision, with modern functionality: Magnifica, indeed.
Matt black resin, satin-finished steel finishing, slightly grainy.
From a complex 12-sided profile, a solution was developed that offers a vivid tactile experience and unexpected rolling resistance.
"Dodecagonal" is just one of the words that will flow easily when you feel the undulating, inviting grip of a rare 'modern classic'.
Undulating indeed, because the twelve faces of the body and cap are not flat, but alternating concave and convex, pleasant to the touch and safe to grip.
The Montegrappa Magnifica is oversize, offering a satisfying heft without unwelcome bulk.
The slightly conical shape enhances its balance and innovative character.
The famous Montegrappa chevron clip with its steel ruzzolino pivot - tested to withstand more than 20,000 actions - is also in satin-finished steel, as are all the trims and the small disc at the cap top with the famous Montegrappa ambigram.
The Montegrappa Magnifica collection include the fountain pen, with steel nib decorated with Montegrappa pattern, and cartridge/converter filling system; the rollerball and the ballpen.
Montegrappa Magnifica effortlessly blends old and new, delivering bold, original design on a familiar template. Handmade in Italy.
Packed in the new green Montegrappa box.
