Exclusive gift ideas: the pen-sculptures of Hervé Obligi

No, the pen as object is not doomed to disappear from our universe! Especially when it takes on unexpected shapes and is covered with precious materials. This is when it becomes an artistic masterpiece worthy of featuring on the desk of a leading figurehead, sheltered in the window display of a national museum or in the hand of a collector fascinated by traditional calligraphy.

A pen-sculpture as gift

Hervé Obligi, a Parisian stone sculptor, nourrishes a true passion for this classic penmanship by covering it with a feast of stones and colors. His Plumes and Color collections develop a concept featuring small series and unique or numbered pieces that are seen as real treasures by aesthetes, as well as ink and blotter lovers.
