The Lamy 2000 ballpoint pen, designed by Gerd A. Müller and launched in 1966, is a celebrated example of minimalist Bauhaus design, prized for its durability and ergonomic comfort. Its seamless barrel construction reflects a form-follows-function approach, emphasising practicality without decoration. The pen’s body is crafted mainly from Makrolon, a fibreglass-reinforced polycarbonate that offers a distinctive brushed texture and comfortable grip; a stainless steel variant provides a heavier feel. Its tapered shape and balanced build ensure ease during prolonged writing. Stainless steel details include a spring-loaded pocket clip and tip. The pen features a reliable push-button retractable mechanism and uses the long-lasting Lamy M16 "giant" ballpoint refill for smooth, consistent ink flow.
