At the start of the video, the beginning of the design process is shown through sketches and especially the way in which designer Giulio Iacchetti envisioned the pens to clip onto the notebook. Rectangular with rounded edges, in black or silver, the pens match other notebooks and devices in form and function. At the factory the machines create the tips, springs, tubes and lids. Once they have stopped their whirring, the pens are assembled by hand by a small artisan manufacturer in Turin. They are then tested in an oscillator, which moves the pens around in circular motions, creating tubes of color and line.
Our first Moleskine sale is on now, with a selection of pens, pencils, laptop bags, tablet shell cases and limited edition notebooks.
