Leuchtturm1917 Drehgriffel Ballpoint Pen - Bauhaus Edition

Wassily Kandinsky, painter and lecturer at the Bauhaus school, summed it up neatly when he said: “Everything starts from a dot.” This quote highlights the fact that for creative minds, the process of committing ideas to paper via the hand begins with a dot on the page. The first point of contact between thoughts and paper – a crucial moment.

Clean, minimalist forms, functional details and classic colours are key features of the modern era’s most influential design school – and also the principles that have always guided the design of LEUCHTTURM1917 products.

LEUCHTTURM1917 is reviving the Drehgriffel from the 1920s. Its characteristic design makes this writing instrument truly distinctive: a hexagonal body with a pointed tip, which, like the twist button, is in a contrasting colour. The Drehgriffel is made from  precision-milled aluminium and brass, then painted and sealed. It uses a spring-loaded  twist mechanism. 

The Drehgriffel Nr. 1 is a ballpoint pen with royal blue ink.
