What Your Fountain Pen Has in Common With A Vitrazza Glass Office Chair Mat (Sponsor)

Vitrazza Glass Office Chair Mat

Do you remember the first time you wrote with a fountain pen? If you love pens as much as we do, it must have completely transformed an otherwise mundane writing experience into a whole new world of elegance, customization, and satisfaction for you. Do you want to relive that "wow, why aren't more people using these" moment? Well then, allow us to introduce you to the Glass Office Chair Mat by Vitrazza. First-time Glass Chair Mat users report a similarly transformational experience as pen aficionados!

Vitrazza Glass Office Chair Mat

The smooth surface of a Glass Chair Mat makes moving around your workspace nearly effortless. It's like writing on 80 gsm micro-coated paper when all you've ever known is bargain printer paper. A Glass Chair Mat is like the paper to your pen. Now pair that with Hubless Office Chair Wheels, and you just might make your favorite roller ball pen jealous. But our favorite commonality between luxury pens and Glass Chair Mats is durability. Pen enthusiasts like us balk at the idea of using cheap plastic disposable pens, and we most certainly won't be caught without our trusty writing companion. Even if we say we don't have a pen on us, we do … we just don't trust others with it. So if you refuse to use junky pens, why continue to use cheap plastic chair mats that crack, dent, and yellow within a couple of years? A Vitrazza Glass Chair Mat is the last chair mat you'll ever need to buy and helps keep plastic out of landfills.

Back in 2015, ēnsso designed the Pen UNO, a minimalist pen to hold Pilot Hi-Tec-C Coleto refills. The pen was very successful due to its simplicity, and innovative retractable cap system. This week, ēnsso released the UNO XL, a full-size version of the pen for the standard Hi-Tec-C refills.

The UNO XL is machined from stainless steel, featuring a retractable cap that also serves as grip section, with diamond knurling to improve grip and comfort. It measures 135 mm in length, has a diameter of 11 mm at the grip section, and weighs 37 g. It is currently available to preorder on Kickstarter at up to 55% discount off the future retail price.

New limited edition fountain pen in Primary Manipulation 4 resin made by ēnsso (Sponsor)

ensso PIUMA Primary Manipulation

The fountain pen world is full of wonderful materials and perhaps one of the most interesting and beautiful ones is the Primary Manipulation 4 resin made in the US by Jonathon Brooks. This material brings joy with a dynamic swirl of primary colors mixed with a pearlescent effect. The resin is also lightweight and warms up with the touch. All these qualities make pens made of this handcrafted resin a very special one.

A few days ago, California-based pen company, ēnsso, introduced an edition of 90 fountain pens using this material. The design selected was their PIUMA- a refined cigar-shaped fountain pen without any trims or decorations. It is the perfect shape for the resin to shine. All pens come equipped with a large #6 14K solid gold nib made by Peter Bock in Germany. The pen accepts ink cartridges and comes with a Schmidt ink converter for bottled ink. A new feature of the design is the inclusion of an o-ring that allows it to be eye-dropped.

The pens are ready to ship for the Holidays and are exclusively available for $295 at ensso.com. During this season, ēnsso is offering a 20% discount on all orders by using code HOLIDAYS2022 at checkout.

My thanks to ēnsso for sponsoring The Pen Addict this week.
