Situla, inspired by ancient Slovenian history
Situla
A pen steeped in the story of Slovenia.
It draws its inspiration from the world-famous Vače Situla, an ancient motif found on many symbols of Slovenia.
The idea waited in our workshop for years until it took shape in the hands of the Creative Director at Next line, Ljubljana. Her sketches brought the pen to life, but that was only the beginning: we wanted a pen crafted entirely at home.
To make this happen, our partners at Vivapen in Celje, with whom we have worked for a good 15 years, supplied the fountain pen mechanism. Perfecting the rotary engraving was just as hard, as this detailed work needs far more precision than a standard laser engraver. In the end, we found an excellent partner for this as well.
The Situla is available in two editions:
Model Rosa is minimalist in design, with a single engraved band and a transparent feed that lets you watch the ink flow from the first word to the final dot on the paper.
Model Zenit is a more refined version of the Rosa. A clip, three motif bands from the Vače Situla and a metal grip section: the perfect combination for a fine fountain pen.
