Montegrappa Elmo 01 Rollerball Very Peri

Elmo 01 is Very Peri

Few designs can remain relevant for a hundred years, which is why Montegrappa is celebrating 2022’s Color of the Year; Very Peri with its classic Elmo 01. Imagined in a solid periwinkle blue it brings vivid presence to the striking simplicity of 1922’s breakout silhouette.

This beloved design channels the maverick spirit of Heinrich “Elmo” Helm – Montegrappa’s factory’s Technical Director until 1928. His ideas were born out of both ambition and necessity, drawing on the ethos of the Bauhaus movement to streamline production and to meet the demands of a growing educated class. As is the case with many Bauhaus designs, they are timeless.

The rollerball uses typical international size cartridges available in many colors and point sizes.
