Montegrappa Elmo 02 Asiago Fountain PenMedium

The newest addition to our retrospective Elmo imprint revisits the pioneering work of Heinrich Helm, co-founder of Italys first fountain pen factory. With its vintage airs and sharp, angled accents, the newElmo 02bundles the exuberance of early-century design with incisive modern engineering.

Channeling the panache of the Roaring Twenties, the organic marbling of the Asiago Fountain Pen is unique to each section of the Italian-made resin, giving each pen a personality of its own.

Distinctive design features include geometrically lathed conical points, waisted brass clip, an angled cap-band and a ski-slope grip section.

With additional heft, the Elmo 02 Asiago Fountain Pen is adorned with a 6mm stainless steel nib is available in Extra-Fine, Fine, Medium, Broad, 1.1 Stub and 1.5 Stub.

Montegrappa Elmo History

As aficionados know, Elmo is a touchstone to Montegrappas formative years, and a name synonymous with the democratisation of writing across Italy. The early 20th century was an era of mass adoption, and pen makers would prioritize design over decoration to broaden their appeal. For Helm and his contemporaries, artisanal invention was often a valuable substitute for scarce and expensive metals.
