The Fordite Collection

Also known as Detroit Agate, Fordite is one of the most unusual and beautiful materials you'll ever see used in a pen. It started life as layers of automotive paint, built up over decades on the tracks and skids inside old American car factories, hardening under the heat of the paint ovens with every new coat applied. The result is a stunning, kaleidoscopic material — each piece completely unique, swirling with rich veins of colour that tell the story of cars that rolled off the production line decades ago. No two pieces are ever the same.
