The essense of the Dream Pen design
A clip has been a common part of fountain pen design since the early days. Besides serving as a roll-stopper or a hook into a pocket/notebook, it also contributes to the overall design of a pen, and the brand's image.
Yet, why does the original Dream Pen design not have a clip?
At Wancher, we believed that more than a writing tool, a fountain pen can be a piece of art. Therefore, Dream Pen and many other models like Sekai, are inspired by the image of a tea bowl in a Japanese tea ceremony, which means they are shaped to be attractive from all angles. In this way, when decorated with Japanese traditional crafts, its charm will harmonize with any environment and will be enjoyed from every perspective.
Accordingly, we did not put clips onto our fountain pens for a long time.
Motivation behind addition of the clip
As a humble member of fountain pen lovers community, we always strive to create a fountain pen that can be used by many people. After years of numerous requests for a fountain pen's clip, we finally step up with the idea. Three things are taken into careful consideration:
1. The harmony with the overall design
2. The structure of the clip so as not to hinder artisans' creativity and future art application
3. Practicality and Quality
With multiple trials, we have completed - Clip for Dream Pen - a perfect addition the original Dream Pen design. The clip's shape is based on the motif of naturally flowing water drops (しずく）which has been adored in Japanese art history. Furthemore, the cap is also processed in consideration with clip's position, angle, and depth, all of which contribute to the final balance and functionality of the design.
