The idea behind this year’s pen comes from Countess Ottilie’s private salon or drawing-room in the Faber-Castell castle, now over 100 years old, it is panelled in costly East Indies Satinwood also known as lemon wood on account of its fragrant scent. Crafted with the utmost precision, the Pen of the Year 2008 combines elegant looks, an inimitable feel, and excellent writing qualities. The interplay that develops between the warmly shimmering satinwood tones and the cool platinum-plated metal parts is as impressive in its fine detail as its brilliant overall composition.
