the lamy 2000 series - consisting of a fountain pen, mechanical pencil and ballpoint pen - stood out when it was launched in 1966 because of its functional aesthetics: a fountain pen made of matt plastic combined with a spring-loaded stainless steel clip instead of gold flourishes. an unusual combination of materials at the time, especially for objects that were mainly used as status symbols. simple design was given a symbolic-social function: market research showed that owners of this pen had a sense of understatement and valued the clear spindle shape as a sign of their modern and progressive approach to life. attributions may change, but the aesthetics remain the same: the fountain pen in particular is as if it were made from a single piece, because the nib consistently continues the spindle shape and brings it to a close. a body designed for writing.
