Linear Pen by Michele de Lucchi for Acme Studio
Mr. De Lucchi designed this pen to be a serious, technically perfect, and professionally used pen. Considering his past involvement with Memphis and his use of materials and colors, this is quite a departure yet still right on target. It is made of lightweight aircraft grade aluminum, which is spun on a lathe to achieve its unique shape which is very comfortable to hold. It uses knurling on the cap for easy twist removal and the cap also screws onto the end of the pen while writing. The pen is presented an a custom aluminum tin case.
Born in Italy in 1961, Michele De Lucchi designed the Tolomeo in 1987. The lamp is now available in sizes from mini to mega is arguably Artemide’s most iconic fixture. Having a background in architecture and industrial design, De Lucchi also favors a craftsman-like approach and since 1990 through the line “Produzione Privata,” he has created a series of artisan-produced items and lighting.
