Lamy design is modern, functional, honest and distinctive. And it is based on the Bauhaus principle that the form of a utility object should be determined exclusively by its function.
Seen from this perspective the LAMY pur has a special right to its name. With its clear stylistic expression, reduced to the essentials, it is the pure embodiment of the design credo by which Lamy became one of the most well-known German brands.
As a ballpoint pen or retractable pencil the LAMY pur is pleasingly attractive with its cylindrical body of matt aluminium, structured with a few fine lines and the contrasting clip of high-gloss polished stainless steel.
And as a set in particular it makes an excellent present – because in this case the gift comprises not only two characteristic writing instruments from Lamy but also a little piece of everyday culture. Created by none other than the great Danish architect and designer Knud Holscher, whose minimalist signature is also behind the special attractiveness of the LAMY dialog 2.
