Lamy Al-Star 2020 Special Edition Ballpoint Pen - Turmaline

In stock, ships next business day.

We are very excited to announce the new limited edition Al-Star for 2020. This stunning and luxurious metallic colour combines well with the metallic shimmer that is iconic of the Al-Star. Like an upmarket lipstick or nail polish we expect this colour to be extremely popular. This is the first in what could be a coveted line of base metal Lamy pens.

The Lamy Al-Star Turmaline ballpoint pen is an iconic form in anodised aluminium. With its form and styling modelled on studio, the AL-star is created with a tough, anodised aluminium barrel. AL-star ballpoint extends the range and delivers a reliable, comfortable writing performance.

The molded grip section of the Lamy Al-Star ballpoint pen encourages correct hand positioning and is made from smokey, transparent ABS plastic. It also features a large wire-spring clip and ultra-simple, push-button retract mechanism which is gaitered with tactile, matt black rubber.

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.
