Our collection of pens was developed with the collaboration of the Japanese experts in writing instruments, Mitsubishi Pencil.
The first project is by Hani Rashid, the Egyptian-American architect, whose “Desktop Architecture” collection was presented last autumn with the “Alessi” brand. Hani is also the designer of the recently opened Alessi showroom in New York.
