“Frankestein L.E.” Montegrappa: the collection dedicated to the “creature”

A tribute to the iconic character from cinema and literature

 
 

“All people have always hated and despised me, they looked at my face and my body and ran away horrified. In my loneliness, I decided that if I couldn't inspire the love I deeply longed for... I would inspire fear!”
Frankenstein

 
 

From the pen of Mary Shelley

to an iconic character of cinematic culture of all time

The Frankenstein creature is brought back to life in a limited edition Montegrappa collection, a detailed tribute that evokes the magic of one of the most beloved horror classics.

The desire for power over life and death turns into an obsession that defies common sense and delivers to the History of Cinema a gem that has seen several subsequent adaptations.

 
 

Frankestein Montegrappa: the pen with special effects

Imagine being transported to vintage Hollywood sets, surrounded by mechanical devices and electrifying atmospheres. The “Frankenstein L.E.” collection by Montegrappa is an ode to Dr. Frankenstein's creature, celebrating the 1931 film directed by James Whale with a design that mixes props and special effects.

This pen captures the energy and essence of the film, pulsing through an XXL body entirely made of brass.

In Montegrappa's workshops, the powerful metaphor of power and the consequences of its lack of control is brought to life. The collection best interprets the profound and universal themes touched upon by the film: every small detail of the writing instrument invites reflection on the real meaning of “Being Human”.

A design that evokes the genius of mad science

The “Frankenstein L.E.” fountain pen is not just a writing instrument, but a work of art. The macabre creature of Frankenstein is enclosed in a hidden chamber cast in brass, with a small moving organ in the shape of a wheel that recalls one of the most epic characters in cinema.

This design, with old-school scenic effects, wraps the world of writing in an aura of mystery and charm. The “Frankenstein L.E.” is a limited edition of only 230 pieces for fountain pens with an 18K gold nib and 230 rollerball pens.

This symbolic number refers to the standard European voltage and the electrified mechanisms used by Universal Pictures to bring the iconic creature to life. Owning one of these pens means having a piece of cinematic and engineering history in your hands.

 

 

 

Laboratory box: set design for the Frankenstein pen

Each pen in the collection is made with high-quality materials. Resin and brass give the pen a robustness and tactile sensation that is unmatched.

The brass fittings and 18K gold nib are a testament to attention to detail and superior quality. The Power-Push filling system, an ingenious mechanism, ensures a smooth and pleasant writing experience.

It’s not just the pen that is special, but also its display box. Inspired by the film's laboratories, the box reproduces a functioning laboratory, complete with kinetic devices and a gritty electroplating.

This special packaging not only protects the pen but presents it spectacularly, recreating the iconic cinematic set design. Each special package includes a 50ml ink bottle, adding a touch of elegance and practicality.
