Under Dante Del Vecchio Pineider not only started to produce their own ranges of pens but also established a design philosophy making them instantly recognisable. The La Grande Bellezza set the trend for their gold nibbed pens, with the model morphing in to the Full Metal Jacket range where it gained a row of ink windows. This form has now become the template for their limited editions, the latest of which is the ‘Arco’, an interesting resin inspired by it’s celluloid namesake and available in two finishes, Oak and Blue Bee. It is the latter that I have been lent by the UK distributor for review though the United Inkdom group and my views will go towards the meta review which will hopefully be published in April.
