Otto Hutt Design 08


Quality As a Way of Life

            Design As a Statement

The striking design08 is the new creation of the designer Mark Braun. On behalf of Otto Hutt, with design 08 Mark Braun has developed a fountain pen that sets its own quality standards in terms of development, design, production and function. design08 embodies an attitude where expert craftsmanship and high-tech claim their place in our everyday culture, our way of life.

design08 is a play with proportions. The fine, regular guilloché lines characterize the entire ruthenium-coated surface. Notice how the guilloché pattern is rotated at 90° on the cap and on the rotatable, cylindrical finial. Thus serving as an indicator how to rotate for removing the cap and activating the innovative Pull+Twist ink reservoir filling function. The rocking mechanical clip prominently exhibits the precision that Otto Hutt puts into every part. The 18k gold nib and the individual number round off the exterior of design08.

The styling of the section allows for sufficient grip for your fingers when writing. The section of the piston fountain pen is made of stainless steel, matt black and coated with PVD. The 18k gold nib is available in EF, F, M and B nib sizes. With its individual numbering, each design08 fountain pen is truly unique. With the cap of design08 closed, the individual number is in line with the back of the nib.

The cap is also cylindrical, with a concave top part. The mechanical clip is spring loaded with a steel spring, breaking through the recess on the top part. Cap and clip form a connection, as if the precision mechanics of the writing instrument were pushing outwards. Upon activation, the clip lowers into the recess on the top part.
