Pininfarina Space

Pininfarina SPACE is a writing tool designed for the space. Entirely made of magnesium, an ultralight material with high mechanical performance, Pininfarina Space has been donated to the crew of the International Space Station (ISS) during the last V.I.T.A. mission. The astronauts, including the Italian Paolo Nespoli, could therefore use it in a microgravity condition, where the normal pens could not work. The Ethergraf® metal alloy tip of the Pininfarina SPACE, writes by oxidation without graphite or ink, perfectly lending itself to the environmental characteristics of the space stations, where the micro-debris produced by the normal pencils’s leads are very dangerous for the filtering system.
