The Lamy Ideos fountain pen features an all-new teardrop shaped Palladium barrel and cap, that combines the basic forms of triangle and circle, unlike anything else on the market. The metal grip section meets the barrel in a teardrop shape that evolves into a round end where it meets the nib. The steel nib sports a curved contour, similar to that of the Lamy Aion fountain pen. The massive spring-loaded clip is made of polished stainless steel and is functionally integrated into the housing’s basic geometry while gently sloping to the side at a 45° angle. The Lamy Ideos fountain pen comes packaged with a blue Lamy cartridge so you can start writing immediately. The Lamy Z27 converter can also be used with bottled ink.
