'Caran d'Ache 849 , blue

Architect, interior designer, furniture designer and textile designer: Alexander Girard was a mid-century design icon. In celebration of the American's wide spanning portfolio, his popular '849' pen is given a new lease of life by way of a collaboration between Caran d’Ache, Vitra and Studio Girard. Here, the pen looks to patterns uncovered from designer’s archived collections, housed at the Vitra Design Museum, with a double triangle pattern, originally created for use on textiles and wallpaper, applied to the writing tool's surface. The ballpoint pen with a tungsten carbide rotating ball ensures a clean, flawless line and is presented in a metal box emblazoned with a pair of blue eyes. Made in Switzerland.
