PINEIDER Limited Edition Hommage to Arman Set

Arman was one of the greatest exponents of Nouveau Réalisme, an artistic trend based on narrating mankind through his everyday objects (shoes, wristwatches, coins and so forth). In consideration of the multiple techniques that he used, Arman is thought of as a painter-sculptor. He himself was to define himself perfectly as “un peintre qui fait de la sculpture”. Like Arman’s objects, so our fountain pens tell the story of man through the creation of everyday items, using the concepts of multiple slashes and of accumulations constantly intersecting in the three models..

Night & Day has two continues apertures, giving the pen an exaggeratedly sliced look, the entire mechanism virtually coming into contact with the writer’s hand in what I would call a very “Arman” concept of a pen. Limited edition of 300 fountain pens.

Trilogy encapsulates the concept of slices and multiples by repeating the slicing motif every 120 degrees and thus generating a multiple, symbolising accumulation and repetition. Limited edition of 300 fountain pens.

The third pen, Doppler, encapsulates the two concepts and extends them to the clip, whose motif is repeated on both cap and barrel, offering an impression of obsessive and continuous repetition. Only available in the set “Multiples”, limited edition of 100 fountain pens sets.

The object of this repetition is a feather, the symbol of Pineider’s entire range and a fetish of writing in the broadest sense of the term, with a doppler effect extending from the clip to the cap and barrel. The clip is a skeletal feather where voids and solids play on the style of Arman, emphasising the feather’s proportions, thus each pen - Night & Day, Trilogy and Doppler - contains the exact morphology of its accumulation or of its break.
