Lamy 2021 Safari Fountain Pen - Terracotta

It was in 1980 that Lamy launched the Safari, a pen that has become an icon in the years since its launch. Loved by people who simply want a good quality pen for a good price and with proven quality and loved by collectors.

Now, in 2021, Lamy is paying homage to them with bringing them back these first two colours as a special edition.

The Lamy Safari Savannah Green and the Lamy Safari Terracotta! These special edition pens feature a sleek black steel nib. (Italic nibs are in stainless steel colour).

The originals are real collectors objects and for the collectors, these pens will deviate enough to honour the original. For those for whom the originals are unavailable, this new set will be a great addition to your collection.

Safari's appeal is three-fold - it provides the highest-quality design, reliable performance and exceptional value for money. The iconic, ergonomic form has been designed to assist in mastering the correct technique with maximum comfort. The two flattened areas on the front section encourage a grip that maintains the nib at the perfect angle and prevent the pen from rotating in the hand. The body includes a clear ink display window for keeping track of your levels and is shaped to prevent the pen from rolling away. The cap clicks firmly onto the pen and includes a large, ultra-simple, self-sprung metal clip attaches easily to items of all thicknesses.

Created from matt ABS plastic - a material known for its resilience and lightweight durability it is available in a spectrum of intense colours.

The Safari fountain pen uses Lamy T10 ink cartridges (one blue cartridge included) or the Lamy Z28 converter (sold separately) for use with bottled ink. 

LAMY QUALITY

Highest quality in technology, processing and material is self-evident in Lamy pens. Lamy pens make a clear statement: "best value for money".

LAMY DESIGN

Lamy Pens are self-contained and succinct. By tradition they embody the Bauhaus principle of functional design: "form follows function". This approach makes Lamy pens unmistakable style icons and the name Lamy a quintessential brand.

LAMY: MADE IN GERMANY

Lamy pens embody the best German design tradition and engineering art. They stand out by virtue of innovation, reliability, restraint and status which does not relate to luxury but to intelligence.

Pens from Lamy can be seen on the New York Stock Exchange, at conferences in Tokyo, or in the lecture halls of Buenos Aires. And each of these pens first saw the light of day in Heidelberg, the city with Germany's oldest university.

Here, just a few minutes by car from the world-famous ensemble of castle, old town and the River Neckar, Lamy develops and produces fountain pens, ink rollerballs, ballpoint pens and propelling pencils which have been amongst the most popular examples of modern design since 1966.

And, despite increasing globalisation, nothing will change this in future. Because Lamy is firmly rooted in its Heidelberg location. An employer of around 400 people from the city and its surrounding area, a patron of culture and a sponsor. But also a family firm which knows precisely that it draws part of its strength and authenticity from a vibrant region which for centuries has stood for science, research and cosmopolitanism.
