Hamburg, 2013, and a Different Kind of Pen

Stilform is a Hamburg design brand for writing instruments, founded in 2013. The brand has specialised in something almost nobody makes anymore: ballpoint pens, pencils and fountain pens so well made that you want to use them for decades. The core principle is a self-developed magnetic mechanism that rethinks how a pen opens and closes.

Magnetic, without a Click

The proprietary Magnal mechanism is the unique selling point. Instead of a click mechanism, the cap aligns itself magnetically and glides into place. The AEON system extends the concept: interchangeable magnetic tips (graphite, metal) make the pen an ‘everlasting pencil’.

Red Dot, German Design Award

The AEON line and the KOSMOS fountain pen were awarded the Red Dot Design Award. The German Design Award followed in 2019. Several products were launched via Kickstarter, including ARC, AEON and KOSMOS.

Titanium, Brass, For Ever

Stilform uses only high-quality materials: titanium, brass, stainless steel. No plastic compromises. The products are designed for longevity and can be repaired or provided with replacement parts after years of use.
