Venetia Black Ballpoint

Venetia is inspired by Venetian writing instruments from the late 1920s, a period marked by a revival of artisanal industry and bold industrial design. This archival reissue reflects local pride through subtle decorative details, combined with skilled machining and the careful use of gold-plated brass to enhance the form without affecting function.

Precision turning of each component highlights the skill and discipline of early manufacturing methods. The 1920s-inspired shape captures a moment of regional rebirth, where craftsmanship and artistic expression worked together.

Modern tooling is used to recreate the elegant silhouettes of early writing instruments, with finishes inspired by period styles. The 1928 ‘touring’ logo is included through diamond engraving, referencing the first recorded use of the Montegrappa name.
