Montegrappa Elmo Ambiente - Kaleido

Montegrappa Ambienti - Kaleido

Utilitarian 1920s design.
Now reinvented for the 2020s.
Montegrappa Elmo Ambiente: the classic with a conscience.

A range of artisanally blended resins gives new perspectives on a classic writing silhouette. Exotic, semi-translucent finishes offer insight into the science of fine writing – and a vision for doing things differently. Enjoy the honest, all-round performance of a writing tool that helped democratize writing. Available in fountain pen, rollerball and twist-action ballpoint modes Recovered materials from the beverage, food and cosmetics industries are repurposed into three spectacular finishes: Ocean, Charcoal and Kaleido Natural imperfections give every pen its own distinct personality. Take yours anywhere, with a complement of recycled accessories made by artisanal stationers, Arbos To create the Elmo Ambiente, Montegrappa has collaborated with Smile Plastics, a studio specialising in innovative architectural surfaces – whose client list includes many of the leading names in conscious design and fashion.

Two colour ways are being made using a resin made from recycled packaging. “Ocean” celebrates marine beauty, while “Charcoal” is a wistful alternative to the anonymity of black-body writing instruments. Each features a translucency that offers a view onto the pen’s internal mechanisms and a reflection on its origins.
“We were drawn by Smile’s resourcefulness and the raw honesty they bring to their products,” explains Aquila. As an enterprise founded by artisans, the Welsh studio has the kind of profile that Montegrappa looks for throughout its supply chain. Most of its collaborations are conducted with local Venetian businesses and span industries ranging from jewellery, marquetry, gastronomy and art.

For the Elmo Ambiente, Montegrappa has also commissioned a suite of desk accessories from a local artisanal stationery supplier.
Located only eight kilometres from Bassano, Arbos helped create products from reconstituted leather, textiles and paper – items that expand Montegrappa’s exploration of more sustainable production methods.
