Caran d’Ache is unveiling two new exceptional creations, Varius Peter Marino and Varius Peter Marino - Special Edition, dreamed up by the famous American architect, talented designer and lover of fine materials.

The Varius writing instruments by Caran d’Ache are an intrinsic part of the designer’s life.

He has always used them to draw his magnificent buildings. 

 

The specially created Varius Peter Marino limited edition is entirely in tune with the spirit of this man with a resolutely modern personality.

The body of these Haute Ecriture instruments is clothed in leather, carefully crafted to ensure unprecedented comfort.

Like a nod to the world of fashion dear to Peter Marino’s heart, a slim grey seam adorns the entire length of the instrument.

Attributes are silver- and rhodium-coated and the nib is made of rhodium-coated solid 18K gold

 

A unique engraved limited-edition number pays tribute to the date he set up his first New York studio: 1/1978.

The Varius writing instruments have asserted themselves in the Caran d’Ache Haute Écriture collections, combining accomplished forms with unparalleled writing comfort. They showcase exceptional materials transformed by the most sophisticated techniques.



Caran d’Ache unveils Varius Trophy, a subtle reinterpretation of the world of golf and the latest addition to its emblematic Varius collection. A genuine ode to precious materials, the Varius collection is a labour of love of craftsmen displaying traditional know-how. Reflecting the company’s creative spirit, these Haute Écriture instruments combine technical innovation and sophisticated design in a surprising blend of materials and textures. Precision and elegance offering unparalleled writing comfort – a pleasure to hold and a treat for the eyes.

This pen has a brass body covered with meticulously made perforated night blue leather, decorated with a fine hand-stitched blue seam. The leather is high-quality European calfskin leather with mineral tanning from Italy. The pen has a silver-plated rhodium-coated screw cap with the Caran d'Ache logo laser-engraved on the top.

The pen comes with a smooth night blue European calfskin leather pouch for 1 pen from the "leather collection".

The Varius cardboard case is covered with premium night blue textured paper, inspired by the colour of the pen body and has a magnetic closure and protective counter-box.

The fruit of a labor of love of different materials, Varius Rainbow elegantly and creatively explores the Caran d'Ache colour wheel.

A marvel of craftmanship, this limited edition was dreamed up by the Geneva-based company to celebrate two exceptional forms of know-how: the art of lacquering and the art of guillochage. The rainbow coloured triangles are each carefully painted by hand.

The silver-plated rhodium-coated instrument is meticulously adorned with hand-lacquered colour triangles, reinterpreting the codes of watchmaking and jewellery trends with the Rainbow inlay.

The writing instrument is finished with a special 18 karat gold nib. The pen is delivered in a luxurious giftbox, including a converter.
