Montegrappa has been crafting fine writing instruments since 1912, so it’s safe to say the Italian label is something of an expert in the arena. It was when a customer walked into the Milan bouqtie looking for a fountain pen small enough to fit into a purse that the idea for
Gnomo was born. Its clever lipstick-like design means it’s only 8cm long when closed, but twists out into a full-sized pen with an 18ct gold nib.
