Industrial Zen: Kolo Tino Fountain Pen – Anodized Aluminium Verdant

Merging the minimalist soul of Viennese industrial design with the rugged durability of an "Everyday Carry" (EDC) tool, the Kolo Tino Fountain Pen in Anodized Aluminium Verdant is a standout in modern stationery. Conceived by designer Tino Valentinitsch and Kolo founder Peter Dunn, the Tino series is engineered for the "impossibly creative" writer who requires a pen as agile as their thoughts.

The Verdant edition features a deep, sophisticated forest green finish. Its anodized aluminum body offers a lightweight yet nearly indestructible exterior, making it the perfect companion for field notes, travel journaling, or professional sketching.

✨ Signature Features: Architectural Ergonomics

The Kolo Tino is celebrated for its compact, "sport" silhouette and a design language that favors clean lines and tactile feedback.

• Anodized Aluminium Verdant Finish: The body is precision-milled from high-grade aluminum and treated with a hard-anodized coating. This process creates a vibrant, matte green surface that is highly resistant to scratches, dents, and the natural oils from your hands.

• Ergonomic Triangular Silhouette: The barrel features a rounded-triangular shape with subtle diagonal notches. This architectural form provides an intuitive, stable grip for long writing sessions and serves as a built-in "roll-stop" for your desk.

• German-Engineered Schmidt #5 Nib: Equipped with a high-performance stainless steel nib by Schmidt of Germany. Known for its consistent flow and smooth feedback, this nib ensures a reliable writing experience right out of the box.

• Threaded Cap Security: The cap features high-tolerance threading to prevent accidental opening in a bag or pocket, while the postable design allows the pen to transform from a compact pocket tool into a full-sized, balanced writing instrument.

• 1% For The Planet: Every Tino pen sold supports Kolo’s commitment to global sustainability, with 1% of sales donated to environmental and wildlife conservation efforts in Africa.

🖋️ Filling Mechanism: The International Standard

The Kolo Tino is designed for the traveler and the professional, utilizing a simple and reliable filling system:

• Filling Mechanism: Standard International Cartridge.

• Versatility: While it comes with a starter cartridge, its universal fit allows you to use a wide variety of short international cartridges from brands like Diamine, Herbin, or Kaweco.

• Converter Compatibility: The Tino can accommodate most Standard International Mini-Converters, allowing you to use bottled inks such as the Organics Studio Periodic Table series.
