Lifetime Warranty
Pen
The ballpoint pen has been neglected for too long. No more. We expect a pen to be at hand at all times. You have one at the bottom of your bag, in the glove compartment, in your jacket pocket. You might not even know how you got the one you're currently using.
This is a trend, a lack of respect for the product, and not least, our own time for reflection. That's why billions of ballpoint pens end up being thrown away every year. We don't care about them. This has to stop. Your thoughts deserve better.
The revolution has begun. Will you join?

We'll send the refill completely free of charge in the color you prefer.

The Pen?
What makes The Pen special?
Our steel ballpoint pen is designed as a lifelong solution – not a disposable item. While cheap ballpoint pens often break or dry out, our pen is made of solid steel that withstands daily use and continues to write steadily. It is a design ballpoint pen that combines aesthetics and functionality in one.
What ink color is included?
The pen comes with black ink as standard. If you prefer a different ink color (blue, green, or red), please write it in the comment field when placing your order.
When purchasing refills, you can freely choose the ink color you desire. Additionally, a free refill is included when you purchase The Pen.
Do I have to refill the ink myself when the pen is empty?
No, you don't have to fiddle with refilling the ink. When your pen runs out, you simply replace the refill. It's quick, clean, and hassle-free.
Which refills fit your pen?
Only our own premium refills fit The Pen. They have been developed to match the weight, balance, and precision of our steel ballpoint pen. You can purchase refills directly from our webshop, ensuring your designer pen is always ready for use.
What's it like to write with a ballpoint pen?
A steel ballpoint pen has a completely different weight and balance than a plastic ballpoint pen. The weight lies perfectly in the hand, providing a stable and fluid writing experience – from quick notes to longer texts. Many describe it as writing more consciously, because the designer ballpoint pen has a natural calm and precision.
Why do you only sell one pen?
Because we believe that one truly good pen is enough. We call it the Only One philosophy: instead of buying 10 cheap pens that will be thrown away anyway, you can settle for one steel pen that can accompany you throughout your life. This saves resources and provides a better experience.
How do I best care for my designer pen?
Your pen is built to last, but we recommend storing it in a dry place and avoiding dropping it hard on stone or concrete. Should the pen get scratches, it is only part of its patina and character. Simply replace the refill when it's empty – and you'll have a steel pen that's always ready to use.
Your last pen

Your time. Away from the screen.
Give yourself the greatest gift. A break. It has never been harder to focus. 5–6 hours, that's the average time you will spend on your phone today. You might not even notice it. Watching TV? Using a computer or a tablet? How long is that then? Maybe it's time to unplug once in a while.
