Lamy pens are used by choosey pen lovers the world over. But why all the fuss about this certain make of pen? One thing for certain most of these people will tell you it is because Lamy uses a careful balance of both great design and functionality into all of their writing instruments.

Lamy pens goes back over eighty years when Josef Lamy purchased the Othos pen company in Germany. It is an interesting fact that Josef was actually working for another famous pen manufacturer at that time, Parker pens. For the next twenty years Josef Lamy continued to manufacture under the name of Orthos. After the second world war he then manufactured under the Artus name. In the 1950s things changed and Josef began manufacturing writing instruments under his own surname. And the company is still operating from Heidelberg in Germany.
So why has Lamy pens remained so popular because of their pen design? Here it is a good idea to introduce the Lamy Safari pen range. First of all, to make it clear, the Lamy Safari pen is not an expensive pen. This pens series was originally introduced to appeal to the student market (which incidentally still remains highly competitive in Europe to this day). Safari pens in the Lamy pens collection are well known for their durability, great performance and of course their great looks. The main body of the pen is made of special ABS plastic and because of its triangular shape is extremely easy to grip. What stands out with Safari pens is not only their great design but the amazing colours that they are available in.
Another super pen in the Lamy pens collection is the Lamy 2000. Again the design of this pen has contributed to its success for many years. The classic design really worked because Lamy has not had to make hardly any alterations to its design over the years. Torpedoe like in shape these Lamy pens are wonderful in the hand and a pleasure to write with. The 2000 series comes in a range of hues and different materials such as Makralon and metal.
