Designed by Jasper Morrison, the Lamy aion is a beautifully made pen. The simplicity of the design is finished perfectly, with bead-blasted grip and brushed, anodised barrel contrasting against the shiny polished clip. All markings are laser-engraved for accuracy.

The result is a pen that looks really special, while maintaining an understated style. It doesn't grab your attention, but can hold it when you choose to give it. It's a perfect example of the functional and unobtrusive design for which Jasper Morrison has become renowned. His expertise, combined with the cutting-edge German manufacturing which has made Lamy so respected, is a winning partnership.

The aluminium barrel is light, while the grip section is much heavier. the result isn't a heavy pen, but has the weight concentrated towards the tip, giving it a solid feel, while keeping the weight where it's easy to control. Posting the cap on the end gives a more top-heavy feel, for those who prefer that. Supplied fitted with medium black Lamy M63 refill.

142mm long capped, 137mm uncapped, 161mm posted. Weighs 38g capped, 30g uncapped.
