Art Sport Fountain Pen Hickory Brown

For all of you who value nostalgia. The Kaweco Art Sport fountain pen in the colour variant Hickory Brown awakes the desire of a bygone era. The combination of the warm shimmering brown shade and the deep black creates an aesthetically vintage effect, which is particularly emphasised by the interplay with the golden elements. Due to the different colour intensities and the glossy, highly polished surface, an extraordinary depth effect occurs. The artistic pouring process of the high-quality acrylic creates unique textures and patterns that make each writing instrument one of a kind. The permanently mounted clip guarantees a secure hold of the pen when on the go or on the writing pad.

Kaweco was established in 1883 outside Heidelberg Germany, although it was not yet called Kaweco and the design that is the most recognizable, Kaweco Sport, was not designed until 1911. A fountain pen that was not a heavy, expensive desk piece but rather lightweight and convenient was an innovation. Ballpoint pens, what we would think of as an analogy to this experience, were invented in 1888 but a reasonably functional design was not produced until 1938 and popularization came mostly after World War II, by then the Kaweco Sport was a classic as well as many other designs produced by Kaweco.
