Daniel Kim Views  

French premium penmaker Waterman has unveiled the Impression Collection — a chic fusion of French craftsmanship and modern design.

The lineup turns up the style with bold lacquered bodies and a cap finished with Waterman’s signature double-branch clip. Available in four finishes — black, blue, white, and stainless steel — each pen offers a deep, glossy sheen, while gold and palladium trims bring a touch of luxe variety.

The cap’s thicker center ring gives the silhouette extra balance, and a carefully calibrated weight distribution allows the pen to nestle comfortably in the hand for a smooth, steady writing experience.

Each piece is handcrafted in Waterman’s native France, and you can choose between fountain pens and ballpoints. The fountain features a stainless-steel nib engraved with Waterman’s iconic “W” logo, a subtle nod to the brand’s identity.

Luxury lifestyle house Montblanc debuts its 26SS “Art of Desk” collection, celebrating the desk as a creative playground where ideas and imagination come to life. The collection brings together writing instruments, desk accessories, stationery, and leather goods as a cohesive lifestyle edit.

Rooted in midcentury-modern design, the desk is built from oak and pairs a leather desk pad with a leather-lined tray dedicated to pens and ink — a harmonious blend of the maison’s writing heritage and artisanal leatherwork.

Standout details include rose-gold lacquered resin rings on the desk legs, inspired by the three signature bands of the Montblanc Meisterstück cap, while the drawer pulls reference the smooth silhouette of a mountain.

The top drawer features a leather watch compartment and a dedicated slot for the pen tray. The desk can be paired with a matching chair crafted from rosewood, with Montblanc’s signature premium leather on the backrest and armrests to complete a refined creative corner.

The color story centers on Corteccia Sfumato leather in an orange-brown “Fove” hue, balanced by earthy tones — velvet green, noisette, tangerine, and saffron — that together form a distinctive design code.

Key pieces include envelope-style notebook and laptop holders; round desk trays and letter openers; desk pads; soft and hard pen pouches; and a wearable pen-loop necklace that lets you style a writing instrument like an accessory.
