Lamy unites function and design. Brand-name writing instruments with individual character

Brand-name writing instruments from Lamy set the trend in design and technology. Since 1930, the company has produced exemplary writing instruments and today offers innovative products in the fountain pen, ballpoint, ink rollerball and propelling pencil segments. In fulfilment of the brand promise “No design writes better” Lamy produces functional high-quality writing instruments of distinctive design. Form and function, technology and aesthetic appeal create a single entity in all its products. Lamy offers numerous product lines with individual characteristics. As a result, the writing instrument becomes a personal accessory reflecting the style and character of the user.

The Lamy success story began in 1966 with the LAMY 2000 programme, which introduced a range of writing instruments with new aesthetic appeal. The product career of the modern classic with cult status is continued by versions made of wood: the LAMY 2000 blackwood and the LAMY 2000 taxus combine ultra-modern writing technology and functional design with an exceptional material. The demand for a clear, use-oriented confirmation of form always determines the Lamy product design. Individuality is also required, as the LAMY dialog 1, for example, proves: the titanium-coated ballpoint pen bears the distinctive signature of designer Richard Sapper. The triangular body with tapered corners not only speaks a new unmistakable design language but also guarantees a most comfortable writing feel. The new LAMY dialog 2 also bears the signature of a design legend: Knud Holscher produced the clear, exclusive form of the luxury ink rollerball with palladium finish, whose clip can be retracted with a twist movement before writing and released after writing.

The latest development is the LAMY studio writing instruments programme which intelligently combines striking design, functionality and writing comfort. There are three beautifully styled versions to choose from: the fountain pen and ballpoint are available in matt-black lacquer, matt stainless steel or palladium finish. Particularly luxurious: the LAMY studio palladium is fitted with a high-quality gold nib. Characteristic feature of the LAMY studio line: the gloss chromium-plated ends and the elegant clip which turns in on itself and significantly determines the special look and feel of these writing instruments.

Lamy helps children learn to write and develop their own individual handwriting

The Heidelberg-based writing instruments manufacturer attaches particular importance to the design of school fountain pens. Individual handwriting is an important cultural asset and an expression of distinctive personality. With its intelligent writing instruments Lamy provides the starting help for handwriting that is full of character. Lamy specialises in the development of school fountain pens and specially designed writing tools for children, which ensure more fun from writing. The LAMY abc school fountain pen for beginners enables writing to be learnt effortlessly and easily. With the particularly robust and unusually shaped LAMY safari for ten to fifteen year-olds, individuality goes to school. The top-of-the-range version of the LAMY safari is the LAMY AL-star, which is made of aluminium. As practical supplements to the successful fountain pens for youngsters, Lamy also offers ink rollerballs, propelling pencils and ballpoint pens. In the present age of keyboard communication by computer and mobile phone it is particularly important to develop personal handwriting. The Lamy writing instruments, with their excellent writing characteristics, facilitate the formation of an individual writing character and promote the pleasure of writing.

Multifunctional writing instruments of high utility value

In addition, Lamy regularly introduces technical innovations that enhance the utility value of its writing instruments. These developments combine aesthetic quality with technically innovative problem solutions. The smallest writing instrument produced by Lamy is the LAMY pico pocket pen, which is only big when needed. At the touch of a finger a refined lift mechanism triggers the metamorphosis from sleek pocket format to ready-to-use ballpoint pen. For this exceptionally classy writing instrument Lamy was awarded the Federal Design Prize.

The Lamy multi-system pens combine several fully functional writing instruments in a single innovative writing tool. The LAMY twin pen was the first modern ballpoint that can be converted into a propelling pencil by means of a twist system.The puristically designed LAMY pickup ballpoint contains a text marker, which, thanks to a clever mechanism, can be deployed at the touch of a button. The top of the range version of this smart dual-purpose pen is the new LAMY pickup pro, which is made of natural-anodised aluminium.

The multi-talented LAMY 4pen is a four-system writing instrument, which in addition to a ballpoint pen and propelling pencil also contains a text marker and a touchscreen pen.
Lamy has also revolutionised the technology and design of ink rollerballs, as shown by the LAMY swift: the unique function of this pen is determined by a Lamy world patent. The clip retracts and reappears when required. In addition to the retractable clip, this design classic stands out by virtue of a clean concept for the highest writing precision – the ink rollerball does not need a cap!

From the excellently styled design classic LAMY 2000 and the Lamy school fountain pens, which help children learn to write, to the practical Lamy multi-system pens. With its innovative design programme Lamy offers the right pen for every situation and for every personal requirement.
