FLUX - Azure Fountain Pen

When everything is in a state of FLUX, let your writing be consistently great. 

Inspiration

If there is one constant in the world, it is change. Everything is constantly changing, including our taste in pens, and even our writing style. With FLUX, we were inspired to create an ergonomic pen that looks substantial at first glance, yet writes like a dream the moment it's in your hand. 

Feature

The FLUX Fountain Pen was designed with user comfort and ease of use at the forefront of our priorities. This meant developing a unique, slightly triangular shape that could fit comfortably in the crook of our hand, and a grip section that enables every writer the ability to shift the angle of their nib.

We did this so that you have the choice of changing the angle of your nib, and thus, shifting the entire pen's weight onto another side, to alter your writing experience. Instead of purchasing a new fountain pen or new nib for a different writing experience, you can mold the FLUX to your liking, creating an altogether new experience. 

Design

The pen's vibrant blue color is decorated with a smattering of different shades of blue, and even black, making it appear like the impossible-to-replicate texture of a tree's bark, while retaining a completely smooth surface. The grip section has a golden sheen with a thin, fluted ring at its bottom separating it from the blue body. This ring adds a layer of complexity, subtly referencing the engraving that can be found on medieval crowns. 

Finally, the bottom of the pen is completely flat, allowing you to place it vertically on your desk, or you can it can rest horizontally on its wider side, making a roll-stopper unnecessary. 

The FLUX is designed to shatter the barriers from picking up a pen and writing.

Certificate of Authenticity

To reinforce our committment to environmental sustainability, we will not be including a printed copy of the FLUX Pen's Certificate of Authenticity. Instead, we will be emailing a PDF of the Certificate directly to the esteemed collectors, who can then have an electronic copy that they can print whenever convenient for them in standard A4 size. 

This is just one small step to for us to reduce our footprint in this world.
