CARAN d'ACHE Desert Series Brick Red Ballpoint Pen | Swiss Hexagonal Collection

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1837/43325192764_c36934ab83_o.jpg CARAN d'ACHE Founded in 1915, CARAN d’ACHE shares its name with the Russian word "karandash," meaning pencil. The word itself originates from the Turkish "kara taş," meaning black stone, a reference to graphite, the essential material for pencil leads. As Switzerland's sole manufacturer of high-end writing instruments, pencils, and art supplies, CARAN d’ACHE embodies Swiss industrial expertise, precision, reliability, and innovation. Each product is meticulously crafted in CARAN d’ACHE’s own workshops in Geneva, blending traditional techniques and skilled artisans with advanced, modern technology. The latest creation from CARAN d’ACHE, named "Dunas" after the Spanish word for dunes, begins with a hexagonal shape and concludes with elegant, rounded curves. This distinguished series includes fountain pens, rollerball pens, ballpoint pens, and mechanical pencils, each offered in four distinct colorways inspired by the world’s renowned deserts: Gobi brown, Mojave ivory, Tanami brick red, and Sahara black. https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1818/30195198518_e5d6262182_b.jpg The Desert Series pens are made from synthetic resin and weigh approximately 22 grams. Each pen is engraved with the CARAN d’ACHE name on the central section of the chrome-plated brass body. A gleaming chrome-plated stainless steel clip and a silver-plated "Cd'A" insignia adorn the top of the cap, while the contours of the nib and clip feature gracefully rounded lines. The undulating landscape of rolling sands forms the backdrop, shaping the serpentine contours of the dunes. The striking contrast between the sharp linearity and the soft curves exemplifies the distinctive and remarkable character of the Desert Series pens. ※ A rare item, only one available. ※ Maintain by wiping with a soft cloth.
