Caran d'Ache - Caran d'Ache's popular Varius silhouette is re-imagined by architect, Peter Marino, and the gothically quirky fountain pendesign is typically Marino. Symbolising strength, hand-made lacing weaves through rhodium and silver-coated eyelets, while skulls top the cap as a nod to the designer's many rings. Complete with a piston ink pump and 18-karat gold nib, this is a writing companion that will make an impression on any bureau.
