Aside for a general national respect and enthusiasm for industry - indeed Germany is the second largest exporter of goods after China - singularity of vision and commitment to quality have endowed German pen makers with solid, long lasting businesses. Lamy, Pelikan, Kaweco, Montblanc are all German owned and made household names, while the Parkers, Conway Stewarts and Watermans of this world have been victims of many mergers and acquisitions, and are today either dead or have one foot in the grave...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne German company which deserves particular attention for its unique point of view is Lamy GmbH. Much like Braun and Olivetti, post-war companies interested with ideas of modernity, Lamy broke with the past by creating mass-manufactured quality writing tools with a design focused approach. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe company was founded by Josef Lamy in 1930. Prior to starting his own business, Josef Lamy had in fact been working as a sales rep for Parker. This influence can be found in Lamy's early pens, which used the same filling system as Parker, and whose conservative designs were loosely based on the classic 1921 Duofold. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhere he, and his son Dr. Manfred Lamy, did innovate radically is by using moulded plastics - as opposed to hand-turned acrylics and celluloids. This functional and democratic material remains at the core of their business to this day. Indeed, from the 1960s onwards Lamy really hit its stride producing pens in complete opposition to what was being made in the industry. The most successful Lamy pens were those born from collaborations with clever designers, for whom Bauhaus values were given full importance. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOf all Lamy designs, in our opinion, the pen that most exemplifies the above story of innovation, courage to be different, and function over form - is the Lamy Safari launched in 1980.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Safari Joy, a variation of the original Safari, is a pen geared towards calligraphy - the longer body offers extra balance and the 1.5 ribbon nib ensures greater stroke range. All the design features that make the Lamy Safari outstanding are present in the Joy too; the comfortable recessed grip, indestructible metal clip and sturdy ABS body all make this tool stand out from the crowd. Comes highly recommended to calligraphers and illustrators looking to add a twist to their work.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/span\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eBody material:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003ehigh quality scratch-free ABS plastic with sturdy metal clip\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eNib size: 1.5\u003c\/em\u003e*\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eNib material: \u003c\/em\u003eStainless steel chrome-plated nib\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003ci\u003eCap type: \u003c\/i\u003eClick cap\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRefill type: \u003c\/i\u003eTakes Lamy cartridges only; available for repurchase \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/choosingkeeping.surf\/collections\/ink-refills\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDimensions: \u003c\/i\u003eopen 17cm, closed 17.5cm posted 17.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIncluded: \u003c\/i\u003eone blue washable ink cartridge\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSpare nibs and different nib sizes for the Lamy Safari can be found\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/choosingkeeping.surf\/collections\/all-lamy\/products\/lamy-nib-assorted-sizes\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTip: When flying, travel on a full or empty cartridge to avoid leakages.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Choosing Keeping","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43929690865911,"sku":"17834","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/0673\/files\/CopyrightChoosingKeeping202308BS17834RT.jpg?v=1708518104"},{"product_id":"blue-lamy-safari-fountain-pen","title":"Blue Lamy Safari Fountain Pen","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally designed in 1980 with young people in mind, this pen addressed the specific functional needs for classroom use and painstakingly integrating such features into the design : namely resilience to breakage and ergonomics.
