The Inkless Pen: Ethergraf Technology
The Pininfarina pen uses a tip made of Ethergraf , a patented metal alloy inspired by the silver tip used by Leonardo da Vinci. This innovation allows for writing on paper without using ink and without wearing out over time. It works based on the natural oxidation of the paper's surface.
When the tip touches the paper, friction gently oxidizes the paper, creating a permanent, indelible mark. The resulting line is fine, subtle, similar to that of a pencil but with greater precision and definition. It doesn't smudge or smudge, and this inkless pen is always ready for use without any maintenance.
Pininfarina Pen for the Slow and Creative Gesture
The Pininfarina Prima Forever isn't designed for everyday use, such as taking work notes or signing documents. This inkless pen favors slow movements over rapid scrolling, closer to a sketch, a thoughtful note, a mark that conveys an idea rather than filling a page.
Choosing this Pininfarina pen with Ethergraf technology means embracing a different form of writing, more ancient than modern, more poetic than functional. It's perfect for creatives, designers, architects, and Italian design enthusiasts looking for a silent companion on the desk, not a replacement for traditional pens.
Pininfarina Design: Timeless Elegance
The renowned Italian industrial design house Pininfarina brings its expertise in creating unique writing instruments. The Pininfarina Prima Forever pen celebrates the purity of form with elegant, flowing lines and a perfect balance between form and function.
The Prima Forever was designed by Sergio Mori , who interpreted Pininfarina's values with a contemporary sensibility. In 2012, his work received a special mention at the Grandesign Etico Award, a prize dedicated to design and those who make innovation and ethics the core values of their work. This recognition celebrates the philosophy underlying this instrument: durability, sustainability, and respect for the creative act.
Each inkless pen is crafted in Italy using the highest precision craftsmanship. Precision casting and precise turning ensure superior quality and meticulous attention to detail. Colors and finishes are applied by hand to ensure the uniqueness of each instrument.

The Pininfarina Forever series styluses are "graph-engravers" composed of an aluminum stem and an ETHERGRAF® tip, specially forged by a team of goldsmiths who cast the block of metal alloy and oversee the manufacturing processes, shaping the various models up to the polishing and finishing stages. The tip is assembled to the stem only at a later stage, making each piece unique.
Conical body in anodized aluminum, available in 6 colors: silver, gold, titanium, copper, rust, bronze, red.
The Ethergraf® tip
The ETHERGRAF® tip allows you to write without using ink or graphite, simply by exploiting the oxidation of the paper.
It microscopically "scratches" the paper, oxidizing it and leaving a light but indelible mark.
Thanks to its porosity, ordinary paper, i.e. untreated cellulose paper (made from plant fibres bonded together through a process called "felting"), is a material that reacts perfectly to the passage of the metal tip.
Minimalist design even in the packaging
The Pininfarina Segno Prima pen is packaged in an original black, cylindrical cardboard box, which supports the pen on the desk like a modern fountain pen.
