For Heinrich ‘Elmo’ Helm, art deco’s burgeoning influence in the mid-1920s was an invitation to bring bold flourishes to utilitarian design. Inventive use of materials and machinery let our factory’s first technical director adopt the codes of the day. Our revival reconnects with a time when panache, proportions and ritzy workmanship brought Italian writing instruments closer to the edges of indulgence.
