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 gaze 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 writing instrument. The wood is selected from those commonly used in luthiery, characterized by exceptional hardness, beauty, and elegance, and particularly suitable for the production of luxury writing accessories. Each stage of the handcrafted wooden pen production is strictly manual and ends with a thorough quality control. The result, meeting expectations, brings joy of owning a “unique” item, as one would expect from a handcrafted creation.

It is a pleasure to seek wood of absolute value, carefully selected and sourced from around the world. Identifying the different 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, 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 the wooden pens involves inserting a brass core, which represents the pen’s skeleton. Turning, finishing, and assembly are subsequent stages of processing. Finishing is a particularly important phase, determining scratch resistance, coverage, and gloss of the pen. A detailed quality check is performed at the end of the process.

INTELLIGENCE IN HANDS
Each handcrafted M'Art pen is a jewel resulting from the harmonious integration of carefully selected wood from around the world, top-quality mechanisms, prestige, sobriety, and very high 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 variable stroke and softness.

MARBLE EFFECT PENS AND PENCILS
Following the positive results achieved in the production of wooden pens and pencils, the brand has launched a new, special artisanal line based on the same models. These are handcrafted pens and pencils with a marble effect, available in 5 different colors depending on the marble type (orange, blue, gray, black, green). This process, very delicate during execution, proves to be highly durable and scratch-resistant after finishing. The artisan creates original and prestigious items of great beauty and never banal. M'Art is a registered Italian trademark of wooden pens and pencils, which best represents artisanal production of 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 accessories. All 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, this results in an extremely reliable product of undeniable value, capable of satisfying even the most demanding aesthetic tastes.

The box is handcrafted entirely from wood, with a visually impactful lining and finishings. It contains a writing instrument, a leather pen grip matched to the type of wood used for the pen, and parchment with a description of the wood’s properties.
