About This Product:
Graf Von Faber-Castell Pen of the Year 2009

Inspired by the horse, this pens barrel is made from horse hair. Its natural properties and the difficulty of processing mean that horsehair is still used for extravagant furnishings and luxurious fashion accessories. The entire spectrum of fascinating options offered by horsehair is achieved only by people who have mastered the traditional art of weaving by hand, such as Dorit Berger. Ever in search of unusual materials, she rediscovered the almost forgotten horsehair. Cool and smooth to the touch, but at the same time tough and long-lasting, the glossy fibres opened up a thousand possibilities for her. So as to create the filigree pattern of the Pen of the Year 2009, the hairs first have to be carefully selected for colour and uniform thickness. Then roughly 70 hairs are woven individually for each centimetre of fabric. The Pen of the Year 2009 represents an exclusive and individual sense of writing. Carefully ‘run in’ by hand, the 18-carat bicoloured gold nib is available in the widths F, M, and B. The platinum-plated end cap protects the knob for the plunger mechanism, on which each pen is individually numbered.
