A century of Bauhaus and the work of a technology pioneer are the foundations of an Italian pen that will appeal to the fans of the EDC (Every Day Carry), objects that we carry with us every day.
Montegrappa is best known for the production of pens that go far beyond the fantasies - and budgets - of the average writing enthusiast, but the latest collection from the Bassano company sees a return to its more modest roots and the vision of its original co-founder, Heinrich 'Elmo' Helm.
The factory that today produces the most sophisticated pens in the world was among the first, from 1912 to 1928, to commit itself to democratize writing. In those days, portable pens were an emerging technology full of problems and still looking for broad acceptance as knowledge and networking tools.
Helm was the first technical director of the company, a figure with a hard work and an optimism that reminds today's technology entrepreneurs. His know-how and his charisma inspired the young company to give its name to their first products, and Elmo pens would become the cornerstones of Italian offices and schools in the coming years.
The Montegrappa Elmo is a compact, round pen that recalls the international style popularized by the Bauhaus in the 1920s. During that time, Helm led his company away from the archetypes of diving pens and designed new solutions to meet contemporary lifestyles. Portability, reliability and efficiency were his mantra.
In 2019, writing instruments are again sought after as essential objects for everyday use (EDC) and the Elmo model is among the first pens produced in Europe to meet this need. Crafted in resin with stainless steel hardware, it offers robust, all-round performance, honest simplicity and a century of know-how in prestigious stationery.
The Montegrappa Elmo fountain pen comes with a #6 JoWo steel nib and includes a converter and cartridge. 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 barrel is engraved with the period logo of Montegrappa, in a complementary tone. It completes a visit to the past, as an entry to a future rich with personal communication – created by the hand of the writer.

Thanks to the Collector Premium Incredible subscription box, now in my third month, the Montegrappa Elmo Iris Yellow landed on my desk with a splash and I am loving every moment writing with it. I have just now bought the Black Star Calla Lily in the same line of pens, this time with a medium nib, my preference of color -- green-- and nib size, as the Iris Yellow came with a broad nib.
This pen is a beauty to behold and feels wonderful in my hand. The one I have is a fine nib and it is a smooth writer and a pleasure in every way. I received mine in the Truphae Inkredible subscription box, and I couldn’t be happier.
