How is the pen that lasts "all life", written without ink and uses the alchemy of Leonardo da Vinci

A pen that lasts a lifetime and written without ink. This is the proposal that comes from Pininfarina, an Italian company that has created iconic designs for car brands such as Ferrari, Cadillac or Jaguar, among others.

The exclusive pens (also called pencils, pens or pens in most Latin American countries, pencil pastas in Chile or "boli" in Spain) have a Point Ethergraf, Composed of a metal alloy, patented, which does not use ink to write. Blows occur during an oxidation process that occurs by the contact of the tip with the paper.

Ethergraf perfecciono the process that he used, more than 500 years ago, Leonardo Da Vinci, Renaissance artist, who popularized the technique of "silverpoint". With a bone pen and a silver tip, he made sketches and drawings on paper that required chemical treatment to produce oxidation, leaving a line that could not be erased.

In this case, this concept of oxidation has been recovered through the use of Ethergraf tip, developed with advanced technology, which allows the paper to not require special treatment. Write on almost all types of paper. The result is a ballpoint pen that makes precise lines, without ink or graphite color, as if it 's a pencil, and that is not erased. The tip Ethergraf lasts, according to its creators, "all life".

Ethergraf was developed in 2012 and patented in 2014 by Pininfarina Segno. This year, the product arrives in Argentina. The company offers eight models of pens, three of which were designed by this company: Space, Aero and Cambiano. The Cambiano has eleven versions. Probably one of the most exclusive, aluminum and wood Kauri.

The Millennium Kauri It is a 30,000 to 50,000 year old wood that is found only in the New Zealand subsoil. The Aero stands out by the fact that it was designed in a wind tunnel and that it won the Red Design Award of 2017. The Space was part, end of 2017, of a space mission on the International Space Station (ISS), where Ethergraf Point has been demonstrated can write in conditions of weightlessness. It should be noted that very few editorial elements can do this under these conditions.

In addition to pens, Pininfarina Segno sells a range of designer leather accessories with nuo details, an eco-friendly, biodegradable and natural material developed and patented by the company that turns a thin sheet of wood into a fabric soft, soft and resistant. .

The product is sold in Canada, the United States, Mexico, Europe, China, India, Australia, Hong Kong, South Korea, India and Taiwan.
