The First One Hundred
No. 40 - Sinuosa
A sculptural fountain pen shaped around a distinctly feminine silhouette, where softened curves and flowing proportions transform the body into something almost figurative. The warm red wood and matching nib give the piece a bold, sensual presence, while the brushed metal section keeps the composition precise and contemporary.

Object notes
Material, surface and intention.
This piece begins with a deliberately sculptural idea: to suggest the feminine form without reproducing it literally. Soft transitions, a narrowed waist and fuller volumes give the pen an almost figurative presence, while preserving the proportions and functionality of a writing instrument.
The warm, red-toned wood reinforces that character, bringing depth and sensuality to the silhouette. Its natural grain introduces subtle movement across the surface, while the restrained finish keeps the material tactile and visually alive rather than hiding it beneath a heavy gloss.
Each section is individually shaped and refined by hand, with particular attention paid to the transitions between the sculptural volumes. A brushed metal section introduces technical precision into the otherwise organic composition, while the Bock No. 6 nib and Schmidt K5 converter provide a reliable foundation for everyday writing.
The identity of the piece comes from proportion rather than ornament, from curvature, rhythm and the suggestion of the human form reduced to essential lines. It is a fountain pen conceived as a small sculptural object, where function and figure are allowed to coexist.
