The ETHERGRAF® tip microscopically "scratches" paper
oxidizing it and leaving a light but indelible stretch.
Due to its porosity, the common paper - that is
the cellulose not trated paper (formed by
vegetable fibers bonded through a process
that is called "felting")-
is in fact a material which perfectly reacts to the
passage of the metal tip.
Pininfarina Segno Speedform is part of the TRANSITION collection: dynamic shapes with progressive perforation.
The Speedform pen features an openwork pattern along its entire length, culminating in the central area.
The perforation is designed to enhance the Ethergraf® technology, that does not require cartridges or refills inside the pen.
The tip starts with a circular section and turns into a blunt triangle, outlining three theoretical torsions; it then tightens again into a circle again at the tail.
A design that not only echoes the organic forms of contemporary architecture, but is also ergonomic in its grip.
The Speedform pen is made of 3D-printed aluminium, which makes it extremely light; the progressive perforation, then, balances the ergonomics of the product, adding a fascinating play of light and shadow.
There is a secret to the Speedform pen: a small magnet inserted in the area near the tip.
This allows the pen to remain balanced on its base, defying gravity and increasing the perception of dynamism.
The Pininfarina Transition Speedform is produced in two colour variants: silver or titanium.
