Exclusive set with anniversary notebook
This fountain pen is presented in a sophisticated gift box including notebook – an exclusive set for connoisseurs and only available in this anniversary year. The cover and all of the notebook’s pages as well as the folder in the rear cover are made of high-quality Gmund paper from the Bauhaus collection. The pages are white and have a grammage of 120 g/m2. They are divided into different sections
with alternating soft grey ruling. The pen can be attached to the book using the pen loop. The folder at the rear of the book can be used for the storage of small keepsakes. The notebook stays securely shut thanks to its looping elastic band. Two different-coloured textile ribbons are used as practical bookmarks.
In the early 1960s, the then Marketing Manager, Dr. Manfred Lamy, was looking for a new long-term strategy that could help establish the LAMY brand’s market position. Design proved to be the niche he was looking for: a great admirer of the Bauhaus, he studied the various ranges of products created by brands such as Braun and Olivetti, who were then developing groundbreaking approaches to industrial design.

So it was almost as though fate intervened when shortly afterwards he met a designer formerly employed by Braun, Gerd A. Müller. They soon came up with a joint project: to design a fountain pen in the Bauhaus tradition. The LAMY 2000 was the first Lamy writing instrument to have been produced in collaboration with an outside designer. It was groundbreaking not only in terms of its impact upon the brand’s future design idiom, but also for the way the partnership with Gerd A. Müller forged a design process that put huge value on interpersonal communication.
