Montblanc Announces First Designer Partnership With Marc Newson

Famed industrial designer Marc Newson has teamed up with Mont Blanc in what is reported to be the German company’s first ever partnership with a designer. The collaboration is set to consist of Marc Newson’s interpretation on a “Mont Blanc M” writing instrument that will retain the core design DNA of both parties while adjusting to suit a more modern market. Regarded as “the most influential designer of his generation” by Mont Blanc’s CEO Jérôme Lambert, the employment of Marc Newson comes as a continuation to his portfolio of big name clients such as Apple and Cappellini and is set to mark a turning point for modern day, luxury writing instruments. The final design is still very much a secret to most of the commercial world, but most interestingly is Mont Blanc’s choice of designer to mark such an occasion. The Marc Newson Mont Blanc M pen will be revealed in early September – stay tuned for more updates on how this collaboration unfolds.
