Pininfarina Cambiano H2Speed ​​– Stylus with Ethergraf tip and natural cedar base

A new way of understanding luxury, encapsulated in a prestigious object with a strong stylistic identity. Pininfarina Cambiano H2Speed – Cedar represents the top version of the Cambiano range, born from the encounter between technological innovation and timeless design by Pininfarina.

The combination of different materials, essential lines, and artisanal craftsmanship gives life to a writing instrument with a unique personality. As Paolo Pininfarina states, “beauty always leaves an indelible mark”: the elegance of Cambiano is designed to last forever.

Writing instruments with an Ethergraf® tip are not ink pens. They are born 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 destined to last over time. They are design objects that live on the desk as silent companions, not as substitutes for traditional pens.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What does “H2Speed” in the name mean?
H2Speed is the name of a Pininfarina hydrogen concept car presented at the Geneva Motor Show, a symbol of speed, innovation, and futuristic design. The Cambiano H2Speed line is inspired by that aesthetic: essential shapes, technical materials, and a future-oriented soul. The name evokes the Pininfarina philosophy applied to writing instruments.

How does Ethergraf® technology work?
The Ethergraf® tip is a patented metal alloy that leaves a mark on paper through a process of natural micro-oxidation, without ink or refills. The stroke is fine and discreet, similar to a pencil, and never runs out. Untreated plain paper is recommended for best results.

What is galvanic treatment on aluminum? What makes it special?
Galvanic treatment is an electrochemical process that deposits a layer of copper on the aluminum surface, giving the body a warm, coppery tone with a unique sheen. It is a high-end process that adds aesthetic value and protects the metal over time.

What is the difference compared to other Cambiano styles (Race, Transition, Italian Beauty)?
The Cambiano H2Speed Cedar (€119) is the most "technical" and futuristic version of the range: galvanic copper-plated aluminum + natural cedar, inspired by the H2Speed concept car. The Cambiano Race (€119) has a sporty soul with colored rubber inserts. The Cambiano Transition (€150) has an architectural design with 3D inserts. The Cambiano Italian Beauty (€140) is the artistic version with illustrations by Francesco Corni. All use Ethergraf®.

Why cedar wood? Does it have a particular meaning?
Cedar wood was chosen for its aesthetic and sensory qualities: it is a precious, fragrant wood with a fine grain, which creates a sophisticated contrast with the copper-plated aluminum body. The scent of cedar is part of the sensory experience of this object.

Is it suitable as a gift for a design, technology, or automotive enthusiast?
Absolutely. The Cambiano H2Speed Cedar is one of the most sophisticated styles in the Pininfarina catalog: galvanic copper-plated aluminum, cedar wood, Ethergraf® technology, and a solid wood display box. A high-impact gift for those who appreciate Italian design, technological innovation, and the automotive world.
