The right “Intuition”: “Intuition Ivoire”, pure elegance at the service of writing excellence

Thanks to the minimalist design of its elegant, unique body, Intuition Ivoire makes all the difference. Its finely fluted body in precious resin contrasts with the black cap, which features a decorative platinum-plated ring engraved with the “Handmade in Germany” quality mark.
The slightly curved grip area is a foretaste of the unlimited pleasure that the Intuition collection brings to all writing enthusiasts. The collection has no screw hinge to interrupt the pure shape of the body. The fluted finish and spring-loaded metal clip are recurring hallmarks of the quality of all writing accessories in the Graf von Faber-Castell collection.
Both in design and feel, the elegant fountain pen reveals an aesthetic charm. When its nib meets paper for a few highly personal lines, it becomes the symbol of a unique moment.

Its hand-crafted, two-tone 18-carat gold nib, converter and cartridge refill system make it an indispensable, highly functional companion. The rollerball with its smooth writing action, the ballpoint pen and the mechanical pencil with their rotating mechanisms also offer unrivalled writing comfort. All the brand’s writing accessories are also available with a fluted black barrel.

The new Initio collection

Its fine, delicately fluted body is the promise of ever-renewed pleasure in elegant, controlled writing. The assurance of a refined style that won’t go unnoticed. Its surface also bears witness to invaluable expertise: the technically innovative varnish created especially for this model has been applied several times to give it a noble, textured matte and highly resistant appearance, enabling it to retain its appearance for many years. Skillfully polished, the metal attributes highlight the body while underlining the “Handmade in Germany” label, a guarantee of quality. This new Initio line, available in 5 writing systems (fountain pen, rollerball, fine felt-tip, ballpoint pen and mechanical pencil), gives access to the world of the Graf von Faber-Castell Collection for a unique emotional experience.

-The 2014 Pen of the Year inspired by St Petersburg’s Catherine Palace

After meticulous restoration, the prestigious Catherine Palace in St. Petersburg now reveals the multi-faceted beauty of its Agate Salons in all their splendor. Its majestic architecture and noble materials were a true source of inspiration for Graf von Faber-Castell and its new edition of “Pen of the Year”.

1) A fountain pen created from this luxurious red jasper, with the aim of paying homage to the stone’s colors and character. The filigree detail is finely engraved and meticulously chiselled, and multiple polishings reveal the luminous nuances of this noble surface. Three large pieces of speckled jasper are inlaid in the plaquéplatinum body.
The fountain pen cap is adorned with a luminous grey Russian quartz with a faceted finish. This edition is limited to 1000 pieces.

2) The special 24-carat gold-plated edition is limited to 150 fountain pens. It is highlighted by small black engraving inserts, a gold rosette insert and six magnificent mottled jasper stones. Like the end of the fountain pen, the cap is adorned with 2 luminous Russian yellow quartz with a sparkling finish. This extremely luxurious combination demonstrates the magnificence of Empress Catherine II’s salon. Hand-engraved, the two-tone 18-carat gold nib is available in sizes F, M, B and BB. Platinum-coated attributes protect the rotating tip of the piston mechanism. The numbered fountain pens are presented in a dark black wooden box with six additional storage compartments. A personal certificate, signed by Boris Igdalov, attests to the authenticity of the stones on each pen.
