FPRECIOUS EATHERS
Micha Christos photographer Gilbert Benesty
Delectable or fearsome weapons, the writing instruments caress the sheets in soft or sharp curls. Their story is linked to expression and creativity;
it signed forever the word «freedom.»
The computer was unable to destroy this noble and indispensable accessory that the most prestigious luxury brands apply to make so desirable by parrying them with the finest attire. Objects of lust proposed in limited editions, the collectors fight for these sleek beauties.
Precious metals, noble woods, perfect lacquers or exotic skins, nothing is too good for these exceptional fountain pens. Their looks, their size, their weight are key criteria in the choice of these jewels of writing. The instrument must marry with the palm; leave fingers in the gesture just for the partition that flies away on the wings of the pen.
Deep black, captivating and brilliant, so soft, pure gold that offers its light to illuminate subtle reflections dancing on the paper or sensual jacketing at the fragrance of leather for cigars without smoke but not without fire, these linings have the elegance needed by the soul to abandon itself to these moments of privacy on the finest vellum.
The engraved and worshiped feathers are the conductors of these partitions eternally unfinished. Thin or wide, flexible or rigid, they correspond to characters that form along the words they trace the lines and curves with tenderness or ferocity. Some are designed to touch the breath of thoughts, others for engraving. The pen tells the intimate and as the saying goes is mightier than the sword. Instrument of power, the fountain pen holds its place alongside watches in the world of the familiar luxuries. It reveals by its choice of discretion or ostentation the secrets of personality that accompanies it in public or in private.
Symphony of lines, irresistible need to anchor, to affix its unique imprint; under the moonlight, my friend Pierrot does not lend me your pen because I want to write my words...
