Who we are . Why Stipula? . History . When a pen comes to life

We firmly believe that a pen is not only something to write with: a pen says something about you, it becomes a part of your personality and it bears traits of it.
This is the reason why we love making fountain pens: each of them is different from all the others and has its own character.
Every pen that comes to life has its  story. Every story begins with a person who dreams and a material that is shaped to match the dream...
Our pens are dreamt by our customers and we try to make their dreams come true.

The process that brings to a new fountain pen starts with a drawing in the Design Department, where a staff of designers and engineers determine what the pen will look like: the shape, the colour, the filling system and all the other mechanical aspects.
Once the drawing is perfected in all its details, it is brought to the Production Department.

If you walk through the Production Department you can really appreciate the work that is behind the making of a quality fountain pen. The manufacturing and assembling process is fascinating. It starts in the lathe section, where solid rods of material are turned either through traditional lathes or through control machines to become parts of the fountain pen.
