For what feels like decades, Lamy has been one of our favorite pen makers because of their combination of affordability, high design and unending desire to keep the fountain pen relevant. Whether you’re talking about their fountain or ballpoint options, Lamy has ended up in the likes of The Best Notebooks and Pens, Better Groomsmen Gifts and the Approved: Pens features because all of their marking devices are a cut above everything else on the market. Which brings us to the EOOS-designed Lamy Ideos pen. As they describe it, “Combining the basic forms of triangle and circle creates a surprising yet natural, stylised teardrop shape that facilitates a unique haptic experience” to create a high-quality writing device that’s refined, comfortable to use and outfitted with polished stainless steel extras. The Lamy x EOOS Ideos pen is available in both fountain and ballpoint options depending on your personal style.
