Wonderful design combined with the highest quality wood creates the synonym of the M’Art brand. It is also a registered trademark of handcrafted wooden pens, which has been on the market for several years. M’Art aims to create a product capable of satisfying emotional needs and rediscovering the pleasure of owning an item of rare beauty, which is pleasant to look at and hold in the hand. All handcrafted products are the result of meticulous market research of the best mechanisms, to offer the customer an excellent pen and pencil. The wood is selected from those commonly used in luthiery, characterized by exceptional hardness, beauty, and elegance, and particularly suitable for producing elegant writing instruments. Each stage of production of handcrafted wooden pens is strictly manual and ends with a thorough quality control. The result, meeting expectations, brings joy of owning an “exceptional” item, as one would expect from a handcrafted piece.

It is a pleasure to seek wood of absolute value, carefully selected and sourced from around the world. Identifying the various mechanisms of these writing instruments, which can synthesize weight and balance to make them pleasant to use, is very complex and rewarding. Creating handcrafted wooden pens requires special skills and knowledge of techniques, raw materials, and tools that allow reaching the final product through a fairly long process, demanding great attention. During the production of handcrafted pens, every small mistake, especially during turning, can mean losing an element and having to start over. Preparing wooden pens involves inserting a brass core, which represents the pen’s skeleton. Turning, finishing, and assembly are subsequent processing stages. Finishing is a particularly important phase, determining scratch resistance, coverage, and gloss of the pen. At the end of the process, a detailed quality inspection is carried out.

INTELLIGENCE IN HANDS

Each handcrafted M'Art pen is a jewel resulting from the harmonious integration of sought-after wood from around the world, top-quality mechanisms, style and sobriety, and a very high level of craftsmanship. From the meeting of these excellences, an exceptional and very elegant product is born. M'Art’s production includes a full range of models of wooden pens and pencils, including fountain pens, ballpoint pens, rollerballs, gel pens, and mechanical pencils with varying stroke and softness.

MARBLE EFFECT PENS AND PENCILS

Following the positive results achieved in the production of wooden pens and pencils, the company has launched a new, special handcrafted line based on the same models. These are hand-painted pens and pencils with a marble effect in 5 different colors depending on the type of marble (orange, blue, gray, black, green). This process, very delicate during execution, proves to be very durable and scratch-resistant after finishing. The artisan creates original and exclusive items of great beauty and never banal. M'Art is a registered Italian trademark of wooden pens and pencils, which best represents handcrafted writing instruments—unique and recognizable objects.

Wood is the central element of handcrafted M'Art pens, and its selection represents extraordinary strength. The synthesis of meticulous research into natural essences from around the world and the long, careful aging of this living, unique, and versatile material allows for the creation of magnificent writing instruments. All this is done with full respect for nature and the environment. Every stage of handcrafted pen production, from turning to brand engraving, is strictly manual. Coupled with great attention to detail and thorough quality control, the result is an extremely reliable product of unquestionable value, capable of satisfying even the most demanding aesthetic tastes.

Exceptional gift box

If you have decided to gift a loved one or yourself a M’Art wooden pen, it means you expect something extraordinary. Such a unique item requires equally exceptional packaging. The box is handcrafted entirely from wood, with a visually striking lining and finishes. It contains a writing instrument, a leather pen holder tailored to the type of wood used for the pen, and parchment with a description of the wood’s properties.

Each pen and pencil can be personalized with names or dedications, engraved in cursive or printed letters, in uppercase or lowercase, on both the cap and the body of the pen.
