[Supreme Fountain Pen] In 2026, I want to return to "handwriting"! The beautiful axis from southern Italy makes a comeback.

The writing instrument brand "D-N" from Naples, Southern Italy presents the "DV Original Mini Fountain Pen," which is the origin of the masterpiece "DV" collection. Inspired by the twilight of the Colosseum, the contrast of orange and black, the shine of vermeil layered with gold on sterling silver, and the cap ring made using the lost-wax method. This "Italian beauty axis," transcending mere tools, transforms journaling and daily note-taking into a moment of slowly facing oneself.

The writing instrument brand "D-N" (formerly Delta), born near Naples, gained international recognition with the "DV" collection, characterized by the striking contrast of orange and black. At its core is the revived "DV Original Mini Fountain Pen."

This collection, intentionally started from "Mini," charms with its delightful size and presence that amazed enthusiasts at the time. It fits perfectly into a business card-sized M5 notebook or a small notebook, slipping easily into a business bag or the inner pocket of a jacket. With a vivid orange reminiscent of the sunlight of Southern Italy, combined with sterling silver or vermeil trim, it evokes a sense of adult luxury.

The model of the "DV Original Mini Fountain Pen" is the limited edition fountain pen "Colosseum," which marked a turning point for the brand. By adopting the "ivy design" that covered the walls of the ancient Roman amphitheater, it embodies feelings of "eternity," "strength," and "passion." It is not just a luxury writing instrument; it has an aura close to that of an art piece.

The range of colors is inspired by Degas's "Dancer," with "I Ballerini"; Caravaggio's "The Calling of Saint Matthew," with "Vocazione"; and "Aura Notturna," which captures the essence of night, each paying homage to a work of art. Coupled with its rarity, with only 38 pieces available worldwide in each color, it allows for a sense of respect for culture and history every time you "write."

The expression created by lost wax casting and craftsmanship is one of a kind in the world.

When you hold the D-N's beautiful barrel, the first thing that catches your eye is the craftsmanship of the cap ring and clip. Instead of mass production, the barrel utilizes the lost wax casting method passed down by traditional craftsmen in southern Italy, producing warm shadows.

The contrast between the glossy resin or ebonite of the barrel material and sterling silver creates a unique sensuality. The clip features a rolling wheel that is less likely to damage the fabric of your pocket, and all finishing is done by hand. While the finished parts may appear similar at first glance, each one embodies slight differences and individuality to the extent that you can say, "there is not a single one that is the same."

Not only the revival of the DV mini but also a wealth of new releases responding to modern needs. "Reservoir Ink Tank 2.0" confronts the stress experienced by fountain pen users when they face the situation of "running out of ink at the critical moment." It houses a 2ml ink tank inside the body, allowing it to "carry" about three times the ink of a typical cartridge.

Additionally, introduced as an entry model for those who want to absorb plenty of ink is the "DUNE" collection, inspired by sand dunes. This pen combines a resin barrel with a marble pattern sprinkled with glitter and a piston filling mechanism, making it a perfect choice for those who want to fully enjoy the color and expression of the ink.
