LAMY lady – White gold for writing with

Many women do not regard writing instruments from the viewpoint of their "function as a tool", which is merely used to create letters. Much more often they see them as individual accessories in their own private sphere, which must fit in with their lifestyle. As a result they select writing instruments for reasons other than the usual ones. Often perceived values, related to those found in the arts, play an important role.

These facts were recorded in psychological studies, and resulted in the creation of the LAMY lady fountain pen and ball point pen. These are the first writing instruments in the world to be made of real porcelain. Virtually no alternatives to this material can fulfil these requirements so perfectly. Its sensual attraction lies in the velvety translucency of its surface, which can act as the medium for tasteful decorative motifs.

By selecting porcelain, Lamy has given a traditional material a new use. Fine porcelain serves as an ideal basis for combining modern design and the latest in writing technology with an artistic form.

A special porcelain mady by Rosenthal was used for the body of the LAMY lady writing instruments. It not only possesses the widely-appreciated aesthetic characteristics of this material but is also hard and unbreakable.

Sharon Jodjaja (known professionally as "Yang"), from Indonesia, was engaged to design the decorative finish for both LAMY lady writing instruments in black and white and gold.
