Twenty years of Ambition
Faber-Castell's Ambition has been a modern design classic for two decades. To celebrate, the Italic edition gives the barrel a new twisted texture, like a slanted italic stroke, that catches the light and feels distinctive under the fingers.
Obsidian: the all-black version
Named after volcanic glass, Obsidian Black combines the matte resin barrel with matte black metal fittings. There is no shiny chrome at all, giving the pen a sleek, monochrome look that is perfect for modern offices.
Built for daily use
- Smooth twist mechanism, no cap to lose
- Spring-loaded clip for shirt pockets and planners
- Comfortable, balanced metal-and-resin construction
