A minimalist hero pen receives a vivid makeover with the launch of Elmo 01 Fantasy Blooms. Montegrappa’s minimalist 1920s reissue is one of the most exciting entry-level pens released in recent years. Now, a selection of brilliant pearlised finishes brings an extra dash of window-presence and pocket/purse-appeal to one of the market’s trendiest silhouettes.

Spectacular, pearlized resin finishes bring new highlights to the Bauhaus-era Elmo 01. A selection of vivid, flower-bed inspired colors offers fresh flavors for dapper dressers, vibrant personalities, and creative spirits.

This Blue Cross Gentian Montegrappa Elmo fountain pen features a stunning pearlescent teal blue swirling resin with hints of purple and/or green. With a #6 JoWo steel nib, it fills via cartridge/converter.

A world leader in the creation of fine writing instruments, since the Renaissance, Italy championed the fountain pen through the craftsmanship of Elmo. This was the name initially used from 1927 by Montegrappa, the world leader in the creation of the perfect tools for creating missives, jotting notes, producing a signature with a flourish.

Every Elmo pen boasts the design values of the era that gave us the most elegant fashions and the most beautiful motorcars, a decade that to this day continues to influence architecture and fashion: the 1930s and the Art Deco movement that defined it. The Elmo pen therefore exhibits a classic form, ergonomically ideal for the smoothest writing sensation, but so chic that it deserves to be regarded as an objet d’art as much as it is a fine instrument.

In common with its Montegrappa siblings, the Elmo pen is made of the finest materials, is offered as a cartridge/converter fountain pen with a #6 JoWo steel nib. It includes a converter and two black Montegrappa short standard international ink cartridges. Each pen’s pocket clip terminates in a rolling ball to facilitate ingress and egress from one’s pocket. As a final touch, the pen’s cap is subtly engraved with the contemporary logo of Montegrappa, in a complementary tone.

We do our best to photograph the pens to show how they will appear in person, but due to the nature of the material there will be some variation in the pattern seen here. This adds an element of uniqueness to the pen, with no two patterns being exactly the same.
