Whereis the emotion now ?
Today we write, we send mails , we note, we use our keyboards more than ever. We blog, we consult websites by the computers technology and other communicative ways.
But where is the emotion? Where is the pleasure to write?Where is this significant feeling to express yourself?
If you look at the evolution of writting, at the pen’s market, and the way we express ourselves you could said this is a dead product.
But people still use them, people are still attracted by this pleasure, by those emotions. Because its one of the easiest way of expression and simply, because it’s an Art.

Who Still Use a fountain Pen ?
What is pushing people to use a fountain more than a simple roller ?
Maybe those kind of people who are at-tracted by emotion , and by objects which bring those emotions.
Demanding womans are exactly looking for it .
Well edducated, smart, active, arts addict-ed, they like to choose products not only for the efficiency its bring but also for the universe its open.
Quality is not the only thing that matters, they need to feel the product as an alter-ego, to own it as a part of their everyday life: An emotion as unique as they are.

Howgive the emotions back ?
By exiting senses, by exagering the feelings, by the form, by the materials, by the aspect and the touch.
Shiny & BurningThis is more than a style , this is a way to fit two of surfaces, two materials, two aspects together.
In combining two opposites, they will en-hance themselves, they will improve their effects, their aspects.
This ambivalence of surfaces and bumps, of shiny and matt, of soft and hard materials, enforce the shapes, enforce the as-pect. The product become more detailled, more unique: One of a kind.
It allow many possibilities, just by alternate the surface, the ma-terials, the bump pattern, with the same shape. It will communi-cate to the user sensations, and from it start the emotions.

The unity concept is based on the glossy lines created by the form shifting: triangle/circle/triangle. The metal as a precious aspect is worked as roughed tone, mini-mum details to keep it perfect, just a pattern on the handed area, to enhance it. A pattern which erase itself to the extremities to leave appear the metal inner strengh.
