the Mystery of ANCIENT KNOWLEDGE

Bottled ink & gift ideas Caran d’Ache Cartier Paris Cross Curtis Australia Diplomat El-Casco Faber-Castell Graf von Faber-Castell Lamy Montblanc Monteverde

The designers of the ancient Egyptian civilization are thought to have worked e intuitively, recognising what looked to be i harmonious and balanced, thereby discovering the mathematical golden number 1 : 1.618 for ratio and proportion. All future generations of designers adopted this discovery.

The mysterious symbolism of the ancient world has been presented to us in a form which we also respond to intuitively with our heart. As you browse through these pages you will see that the Art Deco of Cartier for instance is a reworking of Egyptian geometric patterns. Every designer has derived inspiration from the cradle of civilization knowing not its source and yet recognising it has occupied our hearts in all matters relating to beauty.

The qualities of natural materials cannot be outshone by industrial processes. Amber, jade, wood ,marble, rock and mamoth ivory, stingray skin, horsehair, coral and pearls are all testimony to the principle of beauty as nature's guiding idea. Faber-Castell writing instruments and accessories bring us closer to the precious offerings of the earth.

Lamy dialog 3 Designer, Â Franco Clivio

Lamy dialog 3 was designed by Swiss Style designer Franco Clivio in collaboration with German engineers whose ethos is to create and engineer a product so it can withstand detailed inspection. German engineering is elegant engineering. As you contemplate the Lamy dialog 3 you see smooth threads, polished internal sections and parts as well as dampened movements. From the knurled grip to the rotating half spheroid that acts as a seal on the nib end the pen exceeds expectations — the feeling of no cut corners comes on strong. This writing instrument is user friendly and also an object lesson in modern design.

Caran d'Ache, Swiss Style is a triumph of minimal design –– removing the unnecessary and emphasising the necessary. Emerging from the Modernism of the 1930's Swiss Style can be defined as an authentic quest for simplicity –– beauty is the underlying purpose, not beauty as a purpose in itself. There is always a hint that the designer is seeking an 'ideal' geometric form which will reveal a mystical beauty and harmony while still conveying a message about friendly usability.

“ My line drawing is the purest and most direct translaltion of my emotion. ” Henri Matisse — 1952

The 1980s saw a democratisation of haute couture, and fine writing instruments joined in as well and became fashion accessories. Inspired by the beautiful fabrics of couture clothes the Caran d'Ache Leman bi-colours offer a feminine elegance that does not shy away from bright contrasts and striking elements. These lovely pens are for the confident woman with an irrepressible "joie de vivre".

The Seven Simple steps to

Polishing Your Penmanship 1.

Capital Letters are written from Top-to-Bottom and then strokes follow Left-to-Right.

2.

Lowercase Letters were later formed using the lower half of the Capital Letters.

3.

For cursive writing add a joining element to separate the letters.

4

To ensure letters are separated, always start and finish with up-stroke reaching X-Height.

5.

All joins and anti-clockwise letters are based on repeating the “u�shape.

6.

The key to fast legible handwriting is separation of letters with the spacing stroke.

7.

Cursive Capitals letters are written with the universal line of beauty Top-to-Bottom.
