Kaleidoscopic coral colors swim at the surface of a new edition created in collaboration with the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation. Made to aid the organization’s efforts to galvanize action on ocean protection, each offers a unique snapshot of a resource too precious to lose.
As home to a myriad of marine life, the ocean plays a vital part in preserving the health of our planet. Yet its role as regulator of the world’s climate faces threats on multiple fronts. I Colori dell’Oceano is a reminder of what is at stake, as considered materials elevate the ocean’s beauty and advocate for its protection.
Montegrappa's in-house artisanal resin avoids the environmental excesses of conventional acrylics, incorporating recycled material in mesmerizing textures unique to each example. Issued in editions of 999 rollerballs and fountain pens, the limited availability of I Colori dell’Oceano is emblematic of an ecosystem under strain.
Preciousness is encapsulated in a Montegrappa hallmark. The signature ruzzolino clasp is realized in pearlescent resin at the base of an oyster-shell clip specifically sculpted for this edition. Nature’s ability to filter impurities from the water to create a shiny pearl is symbolic of the task that lies before us all.
A wide range of projects, prizes and grants is managed by esteemed partners to fight climate change, safeguard biodiversity and preserve ocean health. I Colori dell’Oceano is the second Solidarity Edition to be designed in collaboration with the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation following the success of last year’s Ocean.
Montegrappa's alliance with the Foundation shines a light on the planet’s pain points, and the opportunities to alleviate them through communication and common action. Proceeds from all purchases assist the Foundation in carrying out its mission to lead the world towards greater sustainability.
