Product description
The twist grip No. 2 wins the coveted Red Dot Design Award
The Red Dot Design Award is one of the most important and prestigious design competitions in the world, it is considered an international seal of approval for excellent design quality. The well-known design award is awarded by an international jury of experts to products that are characterised by an outstanding design. The jury consists of well-known designers and design experts from all over the world - they independently decide which products receive a Red Dot.
The winner in the Stationary category is the No. 2 twist pen.
The pencil with twist mechanism is a distinctive writing instrument that impresses not only with its quality and function. For its 1920s-inspired design with the hexagonal silhouette and narrow tapered tip that contrasts like the rotary knob, the No. 1 twist grip was awarded the Red Dot two years ago.
Twist grip no. 2 - now as a pencil with twist mechanism
Made of aluminium, the No. 2 rotating pen sits easily in the hand and is ideal for writing or creative applications such as drawings and sketches. Its lacquered brass tip ensures a balanced weight, creating a pleasant writing experience. In contrast to the twist grip no. 1, the front tip (finetip) is made of steel. It forms a harmonious transition to the 0.7 mm graphite lead. The graphite coloring of the signature tip and knob accentuates the function and character of the #2.
NEW YET A CLASSIC: The twist grip no. 2
Spin - Grip: a playful word mark: The design of the word mark "Drehgriffel" is derived from the Sütterlin, a source font developed in Germany in the 1920s for learning cursive writing. The conscious contrast between this old German design of the word mark is a playful break with the modern design. The composite word from turning mechanism, derived from the innovative twist mechanism and the term "Griffel", based on the oldest writing instrument in the world (from the Greek grapheion), clearly reflects the roots of the traditional German company Leuchtturm 1917. No coincidence, therefore, that the birth of the twist grip and the foundation of the Leuchtturm album publishing house both fall into the 1920s.
From the rotation to the point
The mechanism of the writing and drawing device is made in Germany: With the operation of the rotary head, the pliers open at the tip and at the same time the lead is pushed forward. If you release the swivel head, the pliers close and fix the lead. Inside the twist grip No. 2 there is also a reservoir that holds several leads at the same time and immediately pushes the next one after consumption.
