Introducing Lamy pens

Lamy pens have been coveted writing instruments by many pen collectors around the world. But why are these pens so special? The answer is simple. Lamy is renowned for writing instruments that are not only well designed, but write beautifully. In the Lamy collection there are a whole host of different pens to browse through. Below is a potted history of the company and two of the favourite pens. Once you have tried any of the Lamy pens you will see why people go out of their way to choose one. One good thing about Lamy is that they appeal to a wide market and to different budgets.

Let us first go back over 80 years when Josef Lamy took his first step into pen manufacturing by buying out the Orthos pen company in Germany. Just previous to this acquisition it is interesting to know that Josef was working for another big name pen manufacturer, Parker Pens. For the next twenty years Josef Lamy continued to manufacture under the name of Orthos. After the second world war he then manufactured under the Artus name. It was not until the mid 1950s that Josef began manufacturing pens under his own surname Lamy. The Lamy company is still manufacturing writing instruments today from premises in Germany.

What makes Lamy pens so special is their functionality and design? What better pen to start with in their collection than the Lamy Safari. The Lamy Safari pen was introduced as a pen style that would attract students. Therefore it was not expensive, and still remains that way today. These Lamy pens not only look great, they are robust and highly functional. These pens are fabricated out of special ABS plastic. The barrel of each pen has a triangular shape which means that they are comfortable to grip when writing. The attractive thing about Lamy Safari pens is that they come in such fabulous colours. You can be guaranteed that there will be a pen that takes your fancy.

The second collection of Lamy pens we are going to look at is the Lamy 200 series. Again the design of this pen has contributed to its success for many years. Lamy must have done something right with this pen because little has changed in its design since its conception. These Lamy pens have almost missile like shapes. Each pen has a luxurious sleek grip and is a pleasure to hold. Different types of materials are used to make the main body of each pen such as Makralon, exotic woods and highly polished metals.

These are just two of Lamy pens wonderful collection of which words really cannot describe properly.
