ITALIA Fountain Pen by ēnsso

The design of the ITALIA by ēnsso was inspired by the golden age of Italian pens. Its minimalistic design with peaked ends and clip is only adorned with a milled Greek Key or 3 stripes on the cap and grip section.

Although its design draws inspiration from vintage pens, this is a modern-looking pen expertly milled from solid titanium, brass, or aluminum.

You can back the ITALIA on Kickstarter starting at $49 for aluminum models, $59 for Brass, and $79 for Titanium.

My thanks to ēnsso for sponsoring The Pen Addict this week.
