Description
Introduced in 1980, the Lamy Safari quickly established itself as a modern classic. It was originally conceived as a school pen, designed to withstand heavy use and help students develop proper writing posture through its distinctive triangular grip section.
The design, created by Wolfgang Fabian and Bernt Spiegel, has since transcended its original purpose to become an iconic entry-level fountain pen recognized worldwide. Its practical yet stylish form has made it an enduring and highly popular model.
The Safari embodies the Lamy’s Bauhaus-inspired philosophy of “form follows function.” Lamy is known for its clean, modernist approach to design, and the Safari reflects this ethos perfectly.
The injection-molded ABS plastic body is not only tough, but also a prime example of how industrial design can create tools that are both useful and beautiful.
A cartridge-converter pen, the Lamy Safari can fill using convenient Lamy brand ink cartridges for a no-fuss, no-muss writing experience. When fitted with a Lamy brand converter, it can also fill using any bottled fountain pen ink.
Each year, Lamy releases special edition colors that have become eagerly anticipated by collectors and newcomers alike. From bright neon shades to muted pastels, these limited runs give users the chance to express personality and style through their writing instrument.
For those just beginning to explore fountain pens, the Safari offers not only a reliable writing tool but also an accessible way to gain entry into a larger fountain pen culture of design, history, and collecting.
