Lamy Pens
Engraved Lamy pens sit alongside screen printed ballpoints, rollerballs and fountain pens here, built on a handful of design families with their own shapes. Safari models have plastic barrels and a moulded grip zone, and the charcoal rollerball adds a faceted profile. AL-star pens use the same outline in anodised aluminium, which keeps them very light, and a graphite version gives a darker finish. Studio pens switch to a convex cylindrical barrel with a propeller-style twisted clip, from an all-metal ballpoint through to a fountain pen with a medium stainless steel nib. Vista pens have a transparent body that shows the mechanism, and the push-action options skip the cap for one-handed use.
When a boutique architecture practice hands a client a boxed fountain pen at the end of a project, the client walks away with something they'll reach for at home. It comes out for birthday cards, school permission notes and the odd handwritten thank-you. Years later it still writes smoothly and still reminds them of the house they built. For other writing gifts, see our pens range.
Most custom Lamy pens can be screen printed for a clean finish on the barrel, and the AL-star rollerball can be engraved, cutting through the coloured aluminium to silver.
Frequently Asked
What are AL-star pens made from?
AL-star pens are made from anodised aluminium, which gives a light, sturdy barrel with a coloured surface finish. They pair that body with a transparent ergonomic grip and a metal clip.
Do the fountain pens use a steel nib?
The Studio fountain pen has a medium stainless steel nib, and it comes with black ink supplied. All the fountain pens in this group arrive in an individual retail box with ink included.
Are engraved Lamy pens a good gift for clients?
Yes, the AL-star rollerball engraves through its coloured aluminium to silver, giving a light pen that looks the part on a client's desk. It pairs a transparent ergonomic grip with a metal clip for smooth writing every day.
How durable are the plastic Safari barrels?
Safari barrels are made from sturdy plastic that handles daily use in bags, pockets and pencil cases. The capped design also protects the writing tip from drying out or marking clothes when the pen is carried around.
