Is it just me, or does a fountain pen sound like a thing of the past: can you even use it for anything than writing love letters? Who are we, the Brontë sisters?

Some say dated, but we say timeless! Because once you find a fountain pen that works for you, the act of writing becomes something you look forward to. The truth is, fountain pens are not that complicated: if a pen sits comfortably in your hand and the nib doesn’t leave blotches but makes your writing flow seamlessly, you know you have found a good one.

The ION pen is a simple and elegant fountain pen that might be the perfect back-to-school accessory for the fall. The latest ION XL is a new take on the original ION. This new version of the iconic pen is beautifully executed: it comes in stainless steel and looks incredible on any office desk.

ION Pen XL Features:

  • Bock 250 Nib [Size 6]
  • Diameter: 14.00mm
  • Overall length: 145.00mm.
  • Finishes: Aluminium: Sandblast Hard Anodised Black, Titanium: Sandblast, Stainless Steel – Electro Polish

Not For The Faint Hearted

The maker of this smooth and elegant pen is Charles Lethaby, known as the creator of the world’s first fully interchangeable stationery brand. His ION pen combines six components in various materials (Titanium, Brass, Stainless Steel, or Aluminium) and finishes. You can choose from the brand’s standard offerings or create a custom pen for yourself or someone you care about.

Built like a tank, this hefty pen comes without any branding or logo: it is sleek, elegant, and bound to stand out among your desk accessories.

All ION pens come with a Polished Steel or Brass Plated nib created by Peter Bock, known as one of the best nib manufacturers in the world. You can choose the style that works for you: fine, medium, or bold. You don’t need any special tools to disassemble and assemble your ION pen.

Each ION Pen comes in a luxury case, so it makes a perfect gift for a special someone who appreciates the finer things in life. This sophisticated stainless steel fountain pen will last for years and make a lasting impression on your colleagues.

The Buy

The Indigogo campaign for the pen has been closed, and the pen should soon be available for online purchase.
