About Napkin Pininfarina Space Inkless Pen - Pure Grey
Napkin Pininfarina Aero - it's a never ending pen or a never ending pencil but whatever you call it, there's no mistaking it is pure Italian genius!
Before the invention of the pencil, medieval scholars would use a silver tip to draw fine lines. Napkin have developed this idea and added some Italian flair to come up with this stunning range of modern day writing instruments.
Pininfarina Space is a writing tool designed to be used in space. Entirely made of magnesium, an ultra-light material that offers high mechanical performance, Pininfarina Space was donated to the crew of the International Space Station (ISS) during the latest mission V.I.T.A.. Astronauts, among whom the Italian Paolo Nespoli, had therefore the chance to use it in microgravity conditions, where normal pens cannot write.
The metal alloy the tip is forged with, Ethergraf®, writes by oxidation, with no need for graphite nor ink, and is therefore the ideal solution for the environmental conditions in space stations, where the micro-debris produced by ordinary pencils’ graphite are very dangerous for the filtering system.
The sleek lightweight magnesium body comes with an Ethergraf® tip being the perpetual writing bit and is presented in a desk holder with an elegant curvature.
