Jan 29 2015, Berlin, Germany -- Most recently, Kostas Metaxas designed a very special pen for one of the oldest and most prestigious Paris-based writing instrument icons for their "HAUTE CREATION" . In the process of doing this, he became fascinated by the incredible quality of the prototypes produced by the latest $800,000 3D printers from Germany. So he decided to offer for the first time in the world, a unique collection of Limited Edition 3D printed Fountain Pens. The printers are so precise that they not only print in resin, but also Titanium, Cobalt Chrome [normally used with for tooth inserts!] and even stainless steel.

According to Metaxas "I wanted to use geometric patterns and shapes that could never be considered for pen manufacturing since pens are traditionally machined on a spinning lathe and hence, shapes are limited to "tubes". I wanted to break free from this and create a very personal sculpture that could also be used as a writing instrument".
