LAMY 2000
The image of the LAMY brand is closely associated with the success story behind the LAMY 2000. Developed in 1966, this fountain pen established the era of unique Lamy design and is still today the classic among design writing instruments. With its markedly objective form, the LAMY 2000 defined new standards in writing instrument design and became the model for the brand’s development of many future innovative concepts.
Unique history and design
In 1966, Dr Manfred Lamy called for a completely new contemporary design philosophy for Lamy writing instruments, laying the foundation for the future of the LAMY brand. Together with Gerd A. Müller, a former designer at Braun, he developed the LAMY 2000. Its form and function are based on the Bauhaus principles and made it a timeless icon of design recognised and distinguished in museums everywhere.
Perfect interplay of craftsmanship and technology
The LAMY 2000 series has been produced from a combination of polycarbonate and stainless steel for 58 years now. The seamless transition between the two materials is still today an unequalled and unique feature of this high-quality and exceptional series of writing instruments. A combination of high-precision technical processes and sophisticated manual skills is necessary for its production.
The Fountain Pen
Writing in its most beautiful form: a classic among the writing instrument systems, the fountain pen sits perfectly in the hand and guarantees an extremely pleasant and sure writing experience. Its platinum-refined 14-carat gold nib glides over the paper extremely smoothly. The detachable cap features a solid spring-loaded stainless steel clip; its materials and appearance provide a discreet contrast to the writing instrument’s finish.
The Fountain Pen Ink
High-quality Lamy ink allows the LAMY 2000 piston fountain pen to achieve its full writing potential. Inks for the fountain pen are available in ink bottles and in a wide array of colours for every writing occasion and every taste.
