Vibrant Artistry: Kolo Tino Fountain Pen – Acrylic Rock Candy

Experience the "impossibly creative" intersection of Viennese design and German engineering with the Kolo Tino Fountain Pen in Acrylic Rock Candy. Part of a limited-run collection, this pen is a collaboration between industrial designer Tino Valentinitsch and Kolo founder Peter Dunn.

The Rock Candy edition is a visual celebration, featuring a kaleidoscopic marble of vibrant pinks, oranges, and deep purples. Because each pen is machined from a unique block of high-grade Italian acrylic, every instrument possesses a one-of-a-kind pattern—making it a functional piece of abstract art for your pocket.

✨ Signature Features: The Art Deco Pocket Pen

The Kolo Tino is designed to provide the "gravitas" of a full-sized luxury pen in a compact, portable form factor.

• Bespoke Italian Rock Candy Acrylic: The body and cap are crafted from premium, high-gloss acrylic. This material is warm to the touch and notably lightweight (approx. 21g), offering a comfortable alternative to the heavier brass and aluminum Tino models.

• Ergonomic Triangular Silhouette: The signature barrel shape is a rounded triangle featuring diagonal grip notches. This architectural design provides an intuitive resting place for your fingers and serves as a natural "roll-stop" to keep the pen secure on flat surfaces.

• German-Engineered Schmidt #5 Nib: Equipped with a high-performance stainless steel nib (typically available in Medium). Known for its consistent flow and smooth feedback, the Schmidt nib ensures a reliable writing experience right out of the box.

• Secure Snap-Cap & Seamless Posting: The cap snaps firmly into place to protect the nib. When posted on the brass end-finial, the pen grows from a compact 4.1 inches to a perfectly balanced 5.4 inches, providing a full-sized feel.

• 1% For The Planet: Every purchase supports Kolo’s commitment to sustainability, with 1% of sales donated to non-profit organizations in Africa dedicated to wildlife and environmental conservation.

🖋️ Filling Mechanism: Universal Versatility

The Kolo Tino is built for the modern creative who values simplicity and ease of maintenance.

• Filling Mechanism: Standard International Short Cartridge.

• Compatibility: The pen is designed to work with any standard international short cartridge, offering access to hundreds of ink colors from brands like Diamine, J. Herbin, and Kaweco.

• Converter Ready: While optimized for cartridges, the Tino can accommodate most Standard International Mini-Converters for those who prefer using bottled inks.
