Why Sunflower?
A sunny yellow barrel with crisp Royal Blue writing is a cheerful combination that brightens up the most routine to-do list. Sunflower is impossible to lose in a bag.
Sunflower belongs to Leuchtturm1917's 2026 colour collection, so this Sunflower Drehgriffel ballpoint can match your notebook or planner in the same shade.
Twist, write, twist back
'Drehgriffel' means 'twist grip' in German, so turn the grip of the Sunflower Drehgriffel ballpoint and the tip appears; turn it back and it retracts. The Sunflower pen has no button to click and no clip to snag, just a clean hexagonal body that rests comfortably between the fingers and does not roll away.
The refill
The Sunflower Drehgriffel ballpoint comes with a Royal Blue, document-proof refill with a medium line, suitable for signatures as well as notes. When the Sunflower refill runs out, the pen takes G2-format refills, including Leuchtturm1917's Flow refills in black and blue.
