Pininfarina Cambiano Italian Beauty – Stylus with Ethergraf Tip and Cedar Wood Desk Stand

Pininfarina Cambiano Italian Beauty – Stylus with Ethergraf® Tip and Cedar Wood Desk Stand (Special Edition)

A Special Edition born from the collaboration with the Francesco Corni Foundation, dedicated to the art, history, and beauty of Italy's most famous cities. Featuring the patented Ethergraf® alloy tip, the Cambiano Italian Beauty allows for inkless, eternal, and elegant writing. Made of aluminum and cedar wood, it is housed in a precious artistic box decorated with the exclusive works of master Francesco Corni. Available in 8 variants: Rome, Milan, Florence, Naples, Venice, Verona, Palermo, Turin.

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)

Who is Francesco Corni and what makes this edition special?
Francesco Corni is a renowned designer from Modena, known for his extraordinary ink works that portray Italian cities with unique precision and expressiveness. The collaboration with his Foundation has given life to 8 exclusive illustrations — one for each city — that decorate both the box and the stylus. Each piece is therefore a unique work of art.

Which cities are available? How do I choose the variant?
The 8 available variants are: Rome, Milan, Florence, Naples, Venice, Verona, Palermo, and Turin. Each variant features an exclusive illustration by Francesco Corni dedicated to that city. You can choose the city that holds special meaning for you or for the recipient of the gift.

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

Why cedar wood? Does it have a particular meaning?
Cedar wood was chosen for its aesthetic and sensory qualities: it is a valuable, fragrant wood with a fine grain, which adds warmth and naturalness to the aluminum design. The scent of cedar is itself part of the sensory experience of this object.

What is the difference compared to other Cambiano styles (Race, Transition)?
The Cambiano Italian Beauty (€140) is the most artistic and collectible version: Corni's illustrations, cedar wood, artistic box. It is an item to gift and display. The Cambiano Race (€119) has a sporty and racing soul. The Cambiano Transition (€150) has an architectural soul with 3D inserts. All use Ethergraf®, but with different aesthetic philosophies.

Is it suitable as a gift for those who love Italy, art, or design?
Absolutely yes — it is probably the most evocative gift in the entire Pininfarina catalog. The ability to choose the city makes it highly personalized: perfect for those who have a special connection with Rome, Venice, Florence, or any of the other 8 cities. The artistic packaging makes it ready for gifting without additional wrapping.
