With the 2020s now underway, Montblanc is revisiting some of its heritage models from a century ago, reviving its “Baby” pen models from the 1910s and 1920s. Released as a special edition collection under its Rouge et Noir lineup, the new offerings come as compact as pens get, making them perfect travel companions or even part of your EDC if your job requires you to constantly be on the move. You’ll be able to choose between a black body with platinum-coated hardware or an ivory tone coupled with gold-coated fittings.

Both colorways will also be available in either a fountain pen configuration for those with an affinity to the classics or a ballpoint pen mechanism for those who prefer something a little more modern. Finishing the pens are red Montblanc logos at the tip of the caps or pushers that’ll go perfectly with a set of cufflinks the company is also offering.

If you’re interested, the new Montblanc Rouge et Noir “Baby” series will be available soon over on the luxury brand’s website, with prices ranging from $465 to $795 USD.

Elsewhere in design, Dior Maison has teamed up with Sam Baron for an outdoor furniture collection.
