View full details

The Novium Hoverpen Interstellar is a gravity-defying ballpoint pen designed by Pininfarina, engineered to hover in magnetic equilibrium on its base, tilted at approximately 23.5° like the Earth's axis. The body is crafted from precision-machined aluminum and is available in Space Black, Starlight Silver, Neptune Blue, and Mars Magma.

No batteries or electronic components are required: the levitation is generated solely by the balance between the magnets in the pen and those in the zinc alloy base. A design object perfect for modern desks, creative workspaces, or as a high-impact gift.

Pininfarina design and magnetic levitation of the Novium Hoverpen

The Hoverpen Interstellar was born from a collaboration with Pininfarina, the historic Italian design house. The 23.5° angle at which the pen remains suspended reflects the tilt of the Earth's axis relative to its orbital plane. It's a detail that combines cosmic aesthetics with engineering precision, through purely magnetic balancing that requires no moving parts or electrical power.

The pen body measures approximately 143.5 mm in length and 10 mm in diameter, with a weight of about 20 g. The zinc alloy magnetic base measures approximately 88x76x45 mm and weighs about 215 g, ensuring the stability needed to keep the pen in flight.

Refills and packaging

The pen uses Schmidt D1 cartridges, the international standard for ballpoint refills. Included in the package are: the pen with a pre-installed black Schmidt D1 cartridge, a spare blue refill, the zinc alloy base, tweezers for replacing the cartridge, and an instruction manual.

The price is €129. Discover other Pininfarina pens available on Pens.it.

FAQ

How does the Novium Hoverpen levitation work?

The pen remains suspended above the base thanks to a purely magnetic balance between the magnets in the pen and those in the zinc alloy base: no batteries or electronic components are needed.

What type of refill does the Hoverpen Interstellar use?

It uses Schmidt D1 cartridges, the international standard for ballpoint pens. A pre-installed black cartridge and a spare blue refill are included in the package.

What is included in the package?

The package includes the pen with a pre-installed black Schmidt D1 refill, a spare blue refill, the magnetic zinc alloy base, tweezers for cartridge replacement, and an instruction manual.

Which colors is it available in?

It is available in Space Black, Starlight Silver, Neptune Blue, and Mars Magma, all featuring a precision-machined aluminum body.

Why is the pen tilted at 23.5°?

The 23.5° angle reflects the tilt of the Earth's axis relative to its orbital plane, a cosmic reference chosen by Pininfarina to unite aesthetics with the precision of magnetic balancing.

A combination of precision engineering and futuristic aesthetics.
The aluminum pen body offers a sense of solidity and lightness, while the stable and sturdy zinc alloy magnetic pedestal keeps the pen suspended, creating a visual effect reminiscent of the reduced gravity of a space environment.
