Lamy Al-Star 2020 Special Edition Fountain Pen - Turmaline

We are very excited to announce the new limited edition Al-Star for 2020. This stunning and luxurious metallic teal blue 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. A slightly greener version of the popular Pacific Blue from 2017 we expect this colour to be very popular.

The ergonomic, molded grip section 'forces' the writer to grip the pen for optimum writing and comfort and is made from smokey, transparent ABS plastic. The rounded body with clever, subtle flattening to it's sides, prevents the AL-star rolling off the table. It also features a large wire-spring clip, secure 'click-on' cap and an ink window to keep track of levels.

AL-star fountain pen uses Lamy T10 ink cartridges / can be modified to use bottled ink with Z28 converter (sold separately). Comes supplied with stainless steel nib

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.
