The Corporate Gift That Makes the Difference

26 September 2023

Offering a mere freebie isn’t enough to foster customer loyalty anymore. From large corporations to small professional firms, the quest for the perfect “cadeau” has become an opportunity to distinguish oneself and tell a story—with generosity. Here’s how Pineider caters to the most discerning businesses. How you surprise your clients reveals what kind of company you are. When it comes to defining the mystique of corporate gifting, it’s not just about “loyalty”; there’s much more at play: brand awareness, the reliability of services and goods offered, recognizability, positioning, and the assertion of a company’s untapped potential towards its customers. Furthermore, the proliferation of low-cost gadget offerings has flattened the originality of corporate gifts, rendering them, for many, a pointless cliché. The world of corporate gifting has now become a premier league, where what distinguishes itself is the prestige of the brand chosen as a partner, craftsmanship, and quality. In Pineider’s century-long history, creating products for businesses, regardless of their size, has held a significant place since its inception. It’s essential to know that a collection of corporate gifts demands the same expertise and level of craftsmanship as the seasonal collections showcased in our physical and digital storefronts. “In fact,” explains Gerardo Viviano, Pineider’s Production Director, “it can be said that the research and resources invested in these projects are even greater. Moreover, it’s not just about corporate gifting; it also includes office accessories, meeting room furnishings, and hotel furnishings, among many other products. It ranges from agendas to notebooks, from pens to small leather goods used as ‘luxury gadgets.’ They turn to Pineider because they seek a prestigious brand with a history and manufacturing tradition equally important to enhance their clientele.”   In Pineider, a company receives the same treatment as a customer seeking something unique. “They come to us with their idea,” Gerardo continues, “and we assess the level of personalization together, from the company’s logo on a pen to the customer’s initials, or even a completely new product. This is the most captivating work for our team of artisans, such as the design of a writing desk or a passion box, which involves intricate geometries and materials ranging from wood to paper. Among the emerging businesses, the hotel industry stands out: we create furnishings for the desk and bedside table, pencils, pens, notepads, and hotel letterhead. We are sought after by major corporations, banks and insurance groups, as well as smaller professionals, from notary offices to accountants, for whom we personalize everything from letter paper to business cards.” Aggiungi ai preferiti

Back to School. The Art of Handwriting

14 September 2023

Pineider’s beautiful handwriting courses are back in their boutiques. An opportunity to rediscover the forgotten pleasure of an ancient and subversive act: writing by hand. “In the digital age, paper and pen preserve the delicate beauty of everything that cannot be replicated. The slant of ‘l,’ the intricacies of ‘g,’ ink smudges, the spacing between words. These are the fingerprints of human personality.” With these words, excerpted from Pineider’s Manifesto, writer Enrico Dal Buono crystallized the essence of handwriting, a “realm of unique and irreproducible singularities” where “writing a simple note becomes a subversive gesture, a claim of uniqueness. By holding a pen, we expose ourselves to the risk of loss, we pledge to the certainty of never again. And this decision, which rebels against the mechanism of seriality, corresponds to authentic luxury.” A luxury that comes to life every year in the handwriting workshops organized by Pineider in its boutiques in Milan, Florence, and London. Starting from late September, the courses dedicated to those who want to re-learn writing or simply enjoy the pleasure of holding a pen will resume. Eloisa Libera, a handwriting teacher and partner in this initiative for the Milan boutique’s courses, prefers the term “beautiful handwriting” to “calligraphy.” Eloisa is the founder of Lettera E, a graphic studio dedicated to her greatest passion, in which she wagered her past as a product designer and embarked on an entirely uncharted future: “I worked in a small agency, where I was often in contact with the world of graphic design,” Eloisa explains. “I was very drawn to the world of fonts and curious about the origins of the design of each letter, so I discovered the world of calligraphy and fell in love with it, to the point of giving up everything and diving headfirst into it.” Eloisa’s journey was unconventional: “from fonts to lettering, to finally embracing calligraphy. Usually, it happens the other way around, but fortunately, it worked out for me. I immersed myself in something where it was difficult to see the future, and I turned my passion into my profession.” Discover our beautiful handwriting courses HERE. Aggiungi ai preferiti

Working never tires (in the office of dreams)

6 September 2023

Attention to detail can transform the workplace into a “Realm of Ideas” where you can cultivate your creative potential. Just a few accessories, but the right ones, like those Pineider has created to make the office a unique place. In September, you won’t miss the beach umbrella: it may sound like one of those ironic challenges that trend on social networks, but it’s far from a Herculean task. It’s just enough to fuel the regained concentration after the summer break with your favorite nourishment for the mind and soul: ideas. “In the last three years,” explains Jonathan Paoli, Pineider’s retail manager, “with the rise of remote working, offices have become more of an ideal realm than a physical one, designed to give life and space to ideas. Now, more than ever, the workplace is where you must truly live your daily life, especially mentally. It’s a place you must truly feel as your own, a physical space where you can give birth to your best ideas because it speaks of you.” Pineider office products are designed for this very purpose because “while they are extremely functional, intended for professionals dealing with daily tasks, they also have an aesthetic element that sets them apart from typical accessories, the same hallmark of our more lifestyle-oriented collections. And, above all, they can be personalized.” Among the must-haves for the office envisioned by Pineider, the exquisite leather agenda is a must, allowing you to organize your days with style. There’s also the personalized document organizer, equipped with compartments for cards, notes, and pens, or the artistic notebook, inviting creativity by rediscovering the allure of a blank page, along with the indispensable desk pens. “We never forget,” adds Jonathan, “that work often begins on the journey from home. This is why our customers appreciate Pineider briefcases and backpacks, handmade using fine Tuscan leather. They are both functional and beautiful to showcase. It is in this combination that Pineider’s secret lies.” Aggiungi ai preferiti

A passion waiting to be ignited

5 September 2023

Creating this collection of cigar boxes, Pineider enlisted the assistance of an undisputed authority in the world of Italian tobacco, who shared the secrets of a rich and unique experience.   “Tobacco is not to be smoked, is to be savored,” says Terry Nesti, a prominent figure in the cigar industry for over twenty years and today the national coordinator of events for the Sigaro Toscano brand, introducing his greatest passion. For some years now, Terry has been collaborating with Pineider in crafting a collection of cigar boxes covered in exquisite leather, following the Florentine tradition. These products quickly became some of Pineider’s most sought-after home accessories. Terry reflects on the stages of this collaboration: “My dear friend Filippo Gosi, who was then the director of Pineider’s Florence boutique, involved me in the development of a set dedicated to the passion for cigars. There was a desire to create something different.” The immediate success of their initial collaborations has made the connection between Pineider and Sigaro Toscano a lasting and increasingly creative experience. Today, Pineider boasts a true family of cigar boxes in constant expansion, but the attention to detail remains the same. “The essential characteristic of a humidor,” explains Terry, “is, of course, maintaining internal humidity. A cigar is a living thing and, as such, it feeds on water. What distinguishes Pineider’s range is the quality of wood and leather, both of which are part of the Tuscan tradition that both Pineider and Sigaro Toscano embody.” With the same passion as always.   Aggiungi ai preferiti

How to refill a cartridge fountain pen

17 May 2023

In the wonderful world of calligraphy, writing is art, and each stroke is a work of art in itself. When you use a high-quality fountain pen to write, you learn to appreciate its elegance and functionality and, therefore, you need to take good care of it. It is therefore important to refill the pen, refill the ink reservoir or, depending on the model, replace the cartridge. Before embarking on this delicate operation, it is essential to identify with certainty the fountain pen model in your possession. In this guide, we will show you how to refill a fountain pen in three different ways: with a piston system, with a cartridge and with a converter. Jump to: How to refill fountain pens with a piston How to refill a cartridge fountain pen How to refill a converter fountain pen Conclusion     How to refill fountain pens with a piston The piston refill method is the most common method for high-quality fountain pens, as it offers the most efficient ink replacement and ensures smooth and consistent writing. To properly refill a Pineider fountain pen using this method, a few simple steps must be followed: First, unscrew the front section of the pen to expose the ink reservoir. Next, dip the pen tip into the ink until the reservoir is completely full. Then, gently lift the pen out of the ink and place the front section back on the pen. After doing so, gently operate the plunger mechanism to push the ink into the pen and make sure it is ready for use. Finally, wipe the pen tip with a clean cloth to ensure that the writing is crisp and free of smudges. By following these simple steps, you can easily refill your piston fountain pen to ensure flawless writing every time.     How to refill a cartridge fountain pen Cartridge fountain pens are among the most common and convenient pens for writing because of their ease of refill and the wide range of ink colors available. Here’s how to go about properly refilling a Pineider cartridge fountain pen and ensure flawless writing every time: First, unscrew the front section of the pen to expose the ink reservoir. Next, gently remove the empty cartridge from the pen, using a pair of tweezers if necessary. Then, insert the new ink cartridge into the pen, taking care to position it correctly. Once the cartridge is inserted correctly, screw the front section onto the pen. After doing so, gently shake the pen to evenly distribute the ink in the cartridge and make sure the writing is smooth and steady. Finally, try the pen on a sheet of paper and gently press the tip on the page to make the ink flow and make sure the writing is sharp and free of smudges. If necessary, repeat the writing process to make sure the cartridge is completely saturated with ink. With these simple steps, you can properly refill your cartridge fountain pen and always have fresh ink ready for use.   How to refill a converter fountain pen Some fountain pens use a converter refill system, which allows bottled ink to be used instead of traditional ink cartridges. These pens are intended for more experienced users who are able to refill the reservoirs and who prefer to replace the entire cartridge each time the ink runs out. Here is how to properly refill a fountain pen with this system: First, unscrew the front section of the pen to expose the converter. Next, dip the converter tip into the bottled ink until it is completely filled. Then, gently lift the pen out of the ink and place the front section back onto the pen. After doing so, gently operate the converter mechanism to push the ink into the pen and make sure it is ready for use. Finally, wipe the pen tip with a clean cloth to ensure that the writing is crisp and free of stains. If necessary, you can repeat the process of filling the converter to ensure that the pen is fully charged with ink. By following these simple steps, you can easily refill your fountain pen with a converter refill system to write with style and precision.   Conclusion In conclusion, calligraphy is an art that requires great precision and care. Using a high-quality fountain pen can enhance the writing experience, but it is important to take care of it carefully. Refilling the pen, refilling the ink reservoir, or replacing the cartridge are delicate operations that require precision and attention to detail. In this guide, we have illustrated three different ways to refill a fountain pen: with a piston system, with a cartridge, and with a converter. By carefully following these instructions, you will be able to keep your fountain pen in excellent condition and continue to create works of art with every stroke. Aggiungi ai preferiti

Touch down: the innovative and colorful fountain pen

18 April 2023

Avatar Traveler combines the typical characteristics of the avatar collection, resistance of the material, magnetic closure, clip with refined mechanics, a filling system that allows not only a great autonomy of writing, but also a great safety use. Travel without the worry of having ink leaks and without to be obliged to carry your fountain pen in an upright position. In addition to safety, one of the most important features of the Avatar Traveler is the filling system, called Twin Tank Touchdown, which allows you to choose two different writing ways: short writing and long writing, which are activated thanks to an ingenious mechanism inside of the caseback. It allows you to open and close the ink passage quickly and intuitively. If you want to reload the writing part, then the front tank is enough to rotate the bottom counterclockwise a few degrees and a spring positions the mechanism in the open position. To force the ink towards the nib, you can press it 2 or 3 times without insisting because it is not necessary. To return it to the closed position, press it, making sure that the pawls are aligned, and rotate it a few degrees about ¼ of a turn to lock it without forcing it. Twin Tanks Touchdown instructions for use FILLING THE PEN: The plunger works with a distinctive mechanism; pressing the seal creates a vacuum which leads to the ink section. When you want to load the pen, you have to rotate the bottom counterclockwise until the spring releases it and pushes it upwards. Once the ink has completely covered the section, just press the back and tighten it by turning it to the LOCK position (In short writing mode). SHORT WRITING: In the short writing position, the pen writes for a few pages in complete safety because the plunger closes the ink duct and protects the pen from ink leaks due to pressure (For this reason the pen is safe even during flights and during any temperature change). The caseback is positioned on LOCK. LONG WRITING: In the long writing position, the plunger frees the duct and allows the passage of ink with an autonomy of 5 or 6 cartridges. The caseback is positioned on OPEN. When you finish writing, we advise you to reposition it on LOCK. REFUELING: In the Long writing position, by pressing the bottom 2 or 3 times you can refuel the small tank if all its contents have been used. If you want, on the contrary, empty it, just do the same operation keeping the nib pointing upwards. USE IN PLANE: in the short writing position if you want to refuel the small front tank during flights, position the nib upwards and rotate the bottom to long writing (OPEN), turn the pen and proceed as in the previous point. Material: The material is a mother-of-pearl and resin compound developed in Florence for Pineider which we called UltraResin. A rigid material, resistant to shocks, oils, inks, electricity, high and low temperatures, ultraviolet rays and atmospheric agents. The chrome effect and bright colors combined with the resistance and particularity of the material makes this pen of great taste but suitable for everyday use. Colors: The collection consists of 4 colors: Forest green, Neptune Blue, Devil Red, Full Clear Demo. Clip: The sophisticated steel clip, which recalls a feather, is empowered by a mechanism inside the cap, with a magnet that always brings the clip back to the same position. Eternity: Finely engraved with the Florence skyline. Packaging: Elegant Pineider box. Watch the full video Aggiungi ai preferiti

Types of handwriting: elegant cursive

17 April 2023

Handwriting is an ancient art that has undergone many evolutions over the centuries. There are several types of cursive handwriting, each with its own distinctive identity and characteristics. Some of the most common are Italic or Italian cursive, which has an emphasis on artistic calligraphy; American cursive or Spencerian cursive, which has an elegant and harmonious appearance; and English cursive or Copperplate, which has a formal and sophisticated appearance.   Jump to: The meaning of elegant cursive in calligraphy Italic cursive: the Italian writing tradition American cursive: an ancient art for modern communication Copperplate cursive: an English font with a unique history Conclusion     The meaning of elegant cursive in calligraphy Elegant cursive handwriting is a style that is distinguished by its formal and sophisticated appearance. This lettering style is characterized by flowing, harmonious lines that create a coherent and uncluttered visual impression.  Elegant handwriting is often used on formal occasions, such as writing letters or signing important documents, or to create artistic calligraphy. Mastering this elegant writing style requires training and skill development, but once the technique is mastered, practice can be very rewarding and produce high-level results.     Italic cursive: the Italian writing tradition Cancelleresque calligraphy, also known as Italic, is a cursive writing style with a history spanning centuries. Originating in Italy, it is an essential part of its literary and artistic tradition. It is considered the source of all cursive used in Western countries today and has a strong element of decoration and a typical Renaissance feel, but at the same time it maintains a high legibility due to the familiarity we still have with handwriting.  Italian Renaissance artists and calligraphers developed an elegant and refined writing style, which influenced many of that period’s artworks and written documents. Today, this type of classical calligraphy is preferred by many calligraphers, both in Europe and in other parts of the world. Italic cursive is very versatile and can be used in many different contexts, from personal letter writing to art and work projects. To create effective italic cursive handwriting, attention must be paid to many nuances, such as pen angle, line width, and letter shape. Practice and perseverance are key to becoming proficient in using italic cursive.     American cursive: an ancient art for modern communication American cursive, also known as Spencerian cursive, is a style of cursive writing that was developed in the United States during the 19th century. It was created by Platt Rogers Spencer, a teacher of calligraphy and handwriting, and became very popular because of its beauty and legibility.  Spencerian cursive was used in many of the publications and documents written in America during the 19th and early 20th centuries, but it was gradually replaced by other more modern and mechanized writing styles. However, recently, there has been a resurgence of interest in Spencerian cursive, and many calligraphers and artists have rediscovered its beauty and versatility. Spencerian cursive is characterized by elegant, supple curves with a slight rightward slope, and it has a distinctive aesthetic that sets it apart from other cursive writing styles. Today, Spencerian cursive is still taught and used as an artistic writing and calligraphy style, and many artists have adapted and reworked it to create artwork or work projects in an elegant and sophisticated way. Its classic beauty makes it an attractive option for projects that require a formal touch and vintage aesthetic. Moreover, similar to Pineider, many calligraphers and artists continue to study and practice American cursive to preserve and promote the tradition of calligraphy.   Copperplate cursive: an English font with a unique history English Cursive was developed as a commercial script in England in the 18th century and achieved widespread use in the following century, so much so that it is still taught in elementary school in many countries in Europe. Also known as Copperplate, this handwriting font features a decorative and eccentric design, with alternating light and dark and particularly elaborate capital letters. At the same time, English Italic is sophisticated and easily readable because of its recognizability. Its success is due to the spread of the fountain pen, a modern evolution of the turkey pen that replaced the quill pen used for writing until the 19th century. As the effects of the Industrial Revolution progressed, fountain pens finally supplanted the quill pen.  English Italic, or Copperplate, is still used today by many public administrations in their official communications. In the artistic field, it is often used to create invitations, menus, business cards, labels and other forms of design. In the practical field, it is used for handwriting formal letters, notes and memos.   Conclusion Pineider is the ideal place for those who want to explore their passion for different types of handwriting and calligraphy, and for those looking for high-quality products to enhance their experience.  Fountain pens offer greater flexibility and strength than traditional goose nibs. This has enabled calligraphers and artists to create more elaborate and high-quality works. Therefore, Pineider also offers a wide range of high-quality fountain pen nib products, including spares and inks, and other accessories for fountain pens for our luxury pens to best support this creative process. Pineider offers a unique and comprehensive writing experience for those who wish to rediscover the pleasure of handwriting and elevate their skills with the Beautiful Handwriting Workshop. In addition, we offer a Florentine Writing Workshop with the aim of discovering the world of calligraphy through the works of the most famous Florentine authors and teaching the ancient art of calligraphy that dates back to Renaissance Tuscany.   Aggiungi ai preferiti
