Classico Desk Pen

Write On! Molto elegante, this Classico Desk Pen makes a sleek desktop exclamation point. Designed by Matteo Thun, a member of the forward-thinking Memphis design group in ‘80s Milan, its minimalist sophistication recalls desk pens in our Division of Home and Community Life, National Museum of American History. Lathe-spun sustainable rosewood with gold-plated ballpoint assembly. Takes one black refill (included). Nicely boxed for gifting.  Base (3.25"dia.), pen (5.875"l.).

Museum Provenance

In the modern age of easy internet access, mobile communications and telecommuting, the home office is no longer simply a catchall room. Inspire yourself or your loved ones with furnishings that are tasteful, interesting and functional. Inspired by an array of objects in the collections of our National Museums of American History, Air and Space, and Natural History, and our Smithsonian Libraries, these curated office companions are meant to be enjoyed over the course of several successful careers.

Every Smithsonian purchase will arrive with a museum provenance card explaining how it is adapted from or inspired by an object or objects in our collection.
