Lamy Pens & Accessories
Why Lamy Pens Are Popular
Lamy has been crafting writing instruments in Heidelberg, Germany since 1930, earning a reputation for modern design, precision engineering, and exceptional durability. Unlike many pen manufacturers, Lamy designs almost all components in-house from the distinctive triangular grip section of the Safari to the hooded 14k gold nib on the Lamy 2000. This attention to detail makes Lamy pens a favourite among architects, designers, students, and anyone who appreciates functional, understated elegance.

Choosing the Right Lamy Pen
For Beginners: Lamy Safari & Lamy Al-Star
The Lamy Safari is one of the most recommended first fountain pens in the world. Its ergonomic grip teaches proper pen-holding technique, while the robust ABS plastic body withstands daily use. The Safari is available in a rotating collection of colours, with new limited editions released each year.
The Lamy Al-Star offers the same beloved design in an aluminium body, providing a slightly heavier feel and premium metallic finishes. Both pens use the same interchangeable steel nibs and accept either Lamy T10 cartridges or the Z28 converter for bottled ink.
For Professionals: Lamy Studio & Lamy 2000
The Lamy Studio delivers sophisticated minimalism with its propeller-shaped clip and lacquered finish, ideal for business settings where first impressions matter. For those seeking the ultimate Lamy experience, the Lamy 2000 remains an icon of modernist design. Featuring a piston-filling mechanism, Makrolon body, and smooth 14k gold nib, the Lamy 2000 has been in continuous production since 1966.
For Calligraphy: Lamy Joy
The Lamy Joy features an extended barrel designed for calligraphy and expressive handwriting. Available in multiple nib widths including 1.1mm, 1.5mm, and 1.9mm stubs, the Joy produces beautiful line variation for invitations, journaling, and decorative writing.
Lamy Pen Care & Accessories
All Lamy fountain pens ship with a single blue ink cartridge. To use bottled fountain pen ink, you'll need a Lamy converter, the Z28 fits the Safari, Al-Star, while Z27 fits the Studio, and most other higher Lamy models. Lamy's interchangeable nib system means you can easily swap between fine, medium, broad, and specialty nibs to suit your writing style.
