Montegrappa Elmo Ambiente Fountain Pen

New from Montegrappa - with a bit of help from South Wales - the Montegrappa Elmo Ambiente Fountain Pen.  A celebration of recycling, the pen is made of recycled plastic, developed by Smile Plastics, creators of beautiful recycled materials, and based on the Gower Peninsula in South Wales..  The luxurious package comes with a couple of notebooks, pen pouch and folder made by Arbos, specialists in recycled stationery from Vicenza, Italy.

The Elmo, a recently revived 1920's design, is a cartridge converter fountain pen.  It has a smooth steel nib. Barrel and cap are translucent plastic, the recycling process leading to attractive inconsistencies with the finish: no two Ambientes will be the same, and all offer interest to the eye.  

Apart from their innovative use of recycled materials, the Montegrappa Elmo Ambiente Fountain Pen is an excellent writing instrument, maintaining Montegrappa's reputation as one of Italy's foremost pen manufacturers.
