Piet Mondrian is a famous 20th century Dutch painter. Mondrian took interest in impressionist techniques, and, like his countryman, Vincent Van Gogh, he used pure, glowing colors. Later on, he transitioned toward a pointillist cubist styles, as well as other abstract compositional structures.

In honor and to commemorate his legacy Monteverde® is proud to introduce the Regatta Mondrian Limited Edition 921: A writing instrument that elegantly intertwines the maritime grace with the profound artistic legacy of Mondrian. With meticulous intention, this pen's design pays homage to the rhythm and hues that defined Mondrian's iconic abstract paintings in the 1920s. Drawing inspiration from the fluid lines of sailing, the pen's form is a tribute to the artist's pursuit of a distinct abstract art, separate from the conventions of Cubism and Futurism.

In the spirit of Mondrian's palette, the Regatta Mondrian Limited Edition 921 embraces the limited colors of white, black, gray, and the primary hues.

Its composition, marked by thick horizontal and vertical lines, meticulously outlines the color rectangles, creating a symphony of rhythms that mirror the cadence of contemporary life. Just as Mondrian's compositions remained asymmetrical and dynamic, so does this pen's aesthetic—a dominant red block balanced by smaller yellow, blue, gray, and white segments, echoing the very essence of Mondrian's brilliant works.

This limited edition is highlighted by the magnetic closure system that adds a touch of practicality, ensuring effortless capping and posting. While the balanced weight elevates the writing experience of each writing instrument. Notably, enthusiasts of fountain pens will find an included ink bottle to extend their creative journey. A limited production of 921 pens aligns with Mondrian's philosophy of asymmetrical equilibrium, offering a contemplative balance.

The fountain pen boasts a premium stainless steel nib, made in Germany by JoWo, the preeminent nib manufacturer in the world. Offered in six distinctive point sizes: Extra fine, Fine, Medium, Broad, Stub and Omniflex; the pen can easily be filled via standard international ink cartridges or high quality threaded piston converter (Included).

The Monteverde Regatta Mondrian fountain pen is presented in a deluxe gift box, accompanied by a 30ml themed bottle of black ink. Ink cartridges and a converter are also included.

Our note about the JoWo Omniflex nib: This flex nib will allow you to experience more bounce and softness than writing with conventional nibs. You can achieve some line variation with a little additional downward pressure, to a point. We recommend flexing the nib to about twice the line width that you would see without using any pressure. Please take care to avoid pressing too hard on the nib, as over-flexing could prevent the tines from returning fully to their original position and decrease or stop your ink flow.

Monteverde Regatta Fountain Pen - Mondrian (Limited Edition)

Absolutely love my Monteverde Regatta Fountain Pen - Mondrian (Limited Edition) Apart from the side effects of finding myself humming the theme tune to The Partridge Family! Very comfortable to hold and write with even for longer periods. I'm now hooked on the Regatta range. It definitely won't be my last.

Loved the looks, not the sealing

This pen has the record for shortest lifespan in my collection.Had it with the omniflex nib, and this thing was drying out just over night. Tried different inks (monteverde and noodler's black), but it was the same thing. It's gorgeous to look at, but I want it to write too.

Gorgeous!

I've only used it a bit so far. It's one of my pens for March, so it will be put to work soon. The omniflex nib is becoming a favorite of mine. It's a well balanced pen and my only complaint is that it is bit thinner than I usually prefer, but still wonderful. I don't tend to write for extended periods, so it's fine for my daily note taking. I had to get the Mondrian because the artist has special meaning to me. His art is amazing! I've inked it with TWSBI orange to match h the orange in the pen. I am not an orange person, but it just fits!

A work of art!

Beautiful pen and box, love the magnetic cap. The metal body is on the heavier side, but pen is balanced. I got the stub nib which writes fabulously, it does seem like a thicker line than 1.1 stubs from other brands.

FAQs about Fountain Pens

How do I fill a fountain pen with ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

It depends on the pen's filling mechanism, which you can find in the Technical Specs section above. 

Here's a quick definition of the most common filling mechanisms:

  • Cartridge - A small, disposable, sealed plastic reservoir that holds fountain pen ink. These come pre-filled with ink, and typically you just push to insert them into place and you'll be ready to write! Check out our quick guide here.
  • Converter - A detachable and refillable ink reservoir that allows you to use bottled ink in a cartridge-accepting pen. Typically you will install the converter into the grip section, dip the nib/feed into the ink, and twist or pull the converter knob to draw ink into the converter. Here's a video for how to fill a cartridge/converter pen using a LAMY pen as an example.
  • Eyedropper - A pen that utilizes the entire barrel as a reservoir for ink. Ink is directly filled into the barrel, allowing for a high ink capacity. Here's a video on how to do it!
  • Piston - A type of filling system that uses a retracting plunger inside a sealed tube to draw ink into a pen. They are typically either twist or push-operated. These pens cannot accept cartridges or a converter, and only fill from bottled ink.
  • Vacuum - A push-style piston that uses pressure to fill the large pen body with ink. They seal the ink chamber when closed, making it ideal for flying without risk of leaking. Check out our video on how to use a vac filler here.

Check out more info on these filling mechanisms including a video on how to fill each one on our blog.

How do I clean a fountain pen? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

It depends on the filling mechanism, but it mostly comes down to flushing it out with water, and sometimes a little bit of Pen Flush if the ink is really stuck. 

It's a bit easier to show than to tell, so we've put together a few quick videos showing you the process:

How often do I need to clean my fountain pen? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

We recommend a good cleaning every 2 weeks, and any time you change ink colors. 

Water will usually do the trick, but we recommend you use our Goulet Pen Flush if the ink has been left in the pen for a while and could have dried up, or when you’re switching ink colors.

My pen won’t write! What do I do? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

First things first... make sure you have ink in the pen! Be sure that the ink cartridge or converter is seated properly in the pen, and that you aren't out of ink.

We always recommend you give your pen a good cleaning first, using our Goulet Pen Flush, or a drop of dish soap in some water. New pens often have some machining oil residue left in the feed, so a good cleaning often does the trick first.

If that still doesn't work, try priming the feed. This consists of either dipping your pen nib and feed in ink, or forcing ink from the converter down into the feed. 

If it’s still not working after that, please reach out to us so we can help! 

What's your return policy? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

You can submit a return request within 30 days of your order date. You can read all our Return Policies here.

To initiate a return, please submit a request at the Return Portal. Our Customer Care team might reach out to you for more information.

Please note we are unable to accept a return of any Namiki or Sailor Bespoke fountain pen for any reason once it has been used with ink. Please thoroughly inspect and dry test the pen before use.
