Urchin – dot art fountain pen
R4,500
Inspired by sea urchins which have the most amazingly intricate dot patterns on their shells, Di chose a similar colour scheme to create this dot art, showing the gradual change from one colour fading into another. An interesting aspect about sea urchins is that they have five-fold symmetry (called pentamerism). Sea urchins have rounded dots, called tubercles, to which the spines are attached. The spines are used for defence and to move around.

The Jabulani model
SPECIFICATIONS
This is a gently curvaceous model, with a relatively wide girth of 16 mm (0,6″) narrowing to a 10,5 mm (0,4″) grip section and tapering to rounded ends. It has a triple start thread. It has our logo on the finial, and the finial is beautifully rounded, rather than dead flat, which adds to the pen’s voluptuousness.
