Pininfarina SPACE Transition is a ballpoint pen with an essential and contemporary design, conceived for those seeking an elegant, functional, and iconic writing instrument to use every day at their desk.

Featuring the same distinctive shape and base as the SPACE line, this version stands out for its aluminum finish and a special 3D print process, which recalls the technical and innovative approach already seen in the Speedform.

Frequently asked questions about the product

Does this pen actually write or is it just decorative?

It actually writes. The SPACE Transition is a fully functional ballpoint pen, with a fluid, precise, and immediate stroke. It is designed for daily use: notes, signatures, professional writing. The desk stand also enhances it as a decorative object, but the writing function is primary and tangible.

What is the difference between this pen and the Ethergraf® Pininfarina versions?

Pininfarina pens with an Ethergraf® tip write without ink, leaving a permanent mark on paper thanks to an oxidative reaction between the metal alloy tip and the paper itself. The SPACE Transition, on the other hand, is a traditional ballpoint pen with ink: it offers a more fluid, visible stroke suitable for any type of paper, ideal for those who want a Pininfarina object for everyday use without limitations.

What does "3D print process" mean?

The structure of the SPACE Transition incorporates elements created using 3D printing technology, a production technique that allows for complex geometries and precise details difficult to achieve with traditional processing. This recalls the constructive philosophy of the Speedform and gives the pen a distinctive technical and contemporary character within the SPACE line.

What is the difference between this version and the other pens in the SPACE line?

The Pininfarina SPACE line includes several versions that share the same iconic silhouette and desk stand. The SPACE Transition stands out for its aluminum body with 3D print process and ballpoint writing technology — it is the most oriented version for functional daily use. Other versions of the line may use the Ethergraf® tip or different materials.

Is the desk stand included?

Yes. The coordinated desk stand is included in the package. It is specifically designed for the SPACE Transition and enhances its presence on the desk, transforming the pen into a decorative element as well as a writing instrument.

Is the refill replaceable? What type does it use?

The included premium packaging and coordinated desk stand make it ready to be given without the need for additional wrapping.
