Product Description
At the heart of this Special Edition from Pelikan lies Tippel’s 1899 poster "Grundfarben," created for Pelikan’s first poster competition.
Tippel’s "Grundfarben" presents the pelican as a nurturing parent caring for its young - a symbol rooted in historical legend and long associated with devotion, responsibility and trust. Through form, color and composition, Tippel transformed a commercial poster into a narrative image of enduring resonance. His work communicates not only a product, but a set of values - continuity, responsibility and commitment - that still remain central to Pelikan today.
By transferring a historic work of advertising art onto the barrel of the fountain pen, this edition continues Pelikan’s tradition of transforming cultural heritage into objects of writing art - a masterpiece reimagined for the present.
A subtle yet expressive detail from Tippel’s original artwork defines the design of this edition. The flowing cloud formations from the sky of the 1899 poster have been reimagined as an abstract, rhythmic pattern across the decorative sleeve of the fountain pen. The softly contoured forms interact with light to create depth, movement and a delicate shimmering effect. Framed by semi-transparent warm brown resin components, the motif harmoniously connects historic artwork with contemporary craftsmanship.
Crafted using the sophisticated Aurora process, the barrel features finely engraved guilloché structures beneath multiple layers of lacquer, creating a luminous surface thatenhances the visual presence of the design.
The Special Edition Pelikan Souverän® M600 captivates with an unmistakable design which makes it a coveted work of art. The cap, forepart, and knob of this extraordinary piston-fill fountain pen are made of a premium, self-polishing resin. The two-tone 14-karat gold nib glides across paper effortlessly, offering soft and powerful written expression. The golden decorative elements on the fountain pen, such as the iconic twin rings and quintessential Pelikan beak clip, are plated with 24-karat gold to emphasize the pen’s elegance and refinement.
Each pen comes in a book-style package with a miniature reproduction of Tippel's historic poster.
