We believe in getting to know people and places through commerce and design. Someone else's daily diet of lo-fi goods is simple to her yet sacred to us, and vice versa. Let's marvel at each other's mundane, because that shit is dope.

Ballin' Ballograf

Ballin' Ballograf

The reason we FREAKED when we landed on a Ballograf pen for STMT X Sweden?Because pretty much, Ballograf = Swedish design. Simple, stylie, and always keepin’ an eye on the little details that add up to somethin’ BIG.

These pens are made in Gothenburg, over on the east side of Sweden. Only the best for these ballpoint bad boys – stainless steel tips, tungsten carbide balls, archival acid-free ink. All of Ballograf’s pens come with a lifetime guarantee and get the Nordic Ecolabel, too. (We noticed the Swedes take all-things-green very seriously. Can’t blame ‘em with such a beautiful country!)

AND AND AND – a few years back, the Ballograf Epoca (that’s the one in your kit!) was voted #2 out of 21 top pens by an Austrian magazine. (And Austria 9 seems pretty hooked on ‘em, too – anyone translate??). If you’re keepin’ count, that’s the second award-winning pen to be featured in an STMT Kit – the first was Italy.

If you haven’t gotten your hands on one of these pens yet, grab one now in the STMT X Sweden Kit!
