Forever Piuma Italian Beauty – Pear Wood Stylus with Ethergraf Tip and Steel Base

Forever Piuma Italian Beauty – Pear Wood Stylus with Ethergraf® Tip and Steel Base

The Forever Piuma Italian Beauty is a Special Edition born from the collaboration between Pininfarina Segno and the Francesco Corni Foundation. A stylus made of solid pear wood with a patented Ethergraf® tip and a white painted steel base. Each variant is decorated with the original illustrations by the Modenese master dedicated to 8 iconic Italian cities: Rome, Milan, Naples, Turin, Venice, Verona, Palermo, Florence.

Writing instruments with an Ethergraf® tip are not ink pens. They originate from an ancient technique that allows metal to leave a light mark on paper through natural surface oxidation. The stroke is fine, discreet, similar to a pencil, and designed to last. These are design objects that live on the desk as silent companions, not as substitutes for traditional pens.
