Montegrappa Armonia Mini Orange Ballpoint

With its economical price and proportions, Montegrappa Armonia Mini builds on the positive momentum created by the Montegrappa Armonia pens. Shared material and colour specifications make the Montegrappa Armonia Mini a familiar friend, but its pared-back dimensions provide a decisive point of difference.

Measuring 120mm (4¾”) in length the Montegrappa Armonia Mini falls squarely within the Pocket Pen category, providing a solution that many people have long been looking for. Polished acrylic colours of Black, Dark Blue, Orange, Neo mint and Pink carry our palladium-brass popsicle clip, while other trim elements are realised in palladium-IP steel.

Available in fountain pen, rollerball and ballpoint options, the pocket-sized equivalent of the Montegrappa Armonia pens offers reduced length, girth and weight with only a nominal trade-off in functionality.

When everything comes together “just so”, when all is right with the world, the condition is judged to be “harmonious”. Montegrappa has used this observation as the focal point for its new, entry-level writing instrument. Called “Armonia”, acknowledging its Italian roots, the pen embodies all that represents a perfect marriage of form and function … with flair.

Despite the simplicity, Armonia is rich in detail. Its embellishments include a circumferential band around the lower section of the cap, which is engraved with the “Montegrappa” signature. The cap is also adorned with the brand’s 1912 symbol. Its pocket clip is sinuous, ending in the company’s rolling-ball that ensures smooth ingress and egress from a pocket.

Harmony is the blending of complementary voices, notes or tones. It also describes the “chemistry” between simpatico human beings. Montegrappa presents Armonia as the ideal “first pen’, the perfect gift for the graduate, the student, newlyweds or anyone embarking on another chapter in life’s journey.

Italy's first pen producer, Montegrappa, began manufacturing pens in 1912 in its factory in Bassano del Grappa in Italy. Utilizing natural celluloid and precious metals,Montegrappa combines traditional methods such as die-casting with more recent innovations as low-relief engraving to form their precious art objects. Whether Montegrappa use colors reminiscent of the master painters or ornamentation suggestive of Baroque palaces, the Italian heritage and romance is infused into each product.
