Fountain pen made of horsehair fabric!

There are creatures that have always inspired humans with their beauty. Majestically beautiful, full of grace, noble animals – horses. As early as the Stone Age, their images adorned the interiors of caves. Deities were often depicted on horseback to emphasize their strength and power. Often, deities would also take on parts of a horse's body. In Greek mythology, the winged steed Pegasus served Zeus, symbolizing his authority. For his loyalty, the god of Heaven and Earth placed him in the sky, creating the constellation of Pegasus.

The company Graf von Faber-Castell, inspired by the timeless beauty of the untamed freedom of these majestic animals, created the new, truly exceptional Pen of the Year 2009, whose unique barrel is made from woven horsehair – an unusual material, almost unheard of today.

To create the delicate form of the Pen of the Year 2009 barrel, the horsehair was specially selected for its structure, color, and thickness. Then, 70 strands of hair underwent a meticulous weaving process. Strand by strand, a subtle wavy texture of the barrel was formed, with a varied structure and contrasting color, creating a perfect composition with the platinum-plated finishes.

Each Pen of the Year 2009 is a unique work of art. For the most passionate enthusiasts, Graf von Faber-Castell offers the possibility to create the Pen of the Year 2009 using hair from the tail of their own horse, upon special request. 

The craftsmanship and individual characteristics of each strand forming the barrel's texture make each Pen of the Year 2009 unique and unparalleled.

The ensemble is completed by a handcrafted, gold, 18-carat, two-tone nib. The platinum-plated cap end protects the ink filling mechanism, engraved with the individual number of each Pen of the Year. The elegant, flexible clip is also noteworthy.

The Pen of the Year 2009 is presented in an exclusive wooden box with a beautifully prepared informational brochure and a certificate of authenticity. It includes the personal signature of Dorit Berger – the only specialist in Germany who still practices the art of hand-weaving horsehair, and a certificate confirming the highest quality of the materials used.
