The LAMY 2000 Fountain Pen

If you’re after a fountain pen that’s as stylish as it is practical, look no further than the LAMY 2000, available now at Melbourne Pen Depot. Designed in Germany and still hand-assembled today, this iconic pen has earned a cult following for its clean lines, superb build quality, and writing performance that’s second to none. And right now, it's on special, making it the perfect time to pick one up—either for yourself or as a truly memorable gift.

Timeless Design, Built to Last

The LAMY 2000 was first released in 1966 and has barely changed since—a testament to just how forward-thinking the original design was. With a shape influenced by the Bauhaus philosophy of “form follows function,” the pen is both sleek and minimalist, free from unnecessary decoration.

The body is crafted from Makrolon® (a fibreglass-reinforced polycarbonate) which gives it a unique, slightly textured feel—grippy without being rough. Combined with the brushed stainless steel grip and clip, the result is a pen that feels substantial in the hand without being heavy. Its seamless, slightly tapered profile is comfortable for long writing sessions and sits nicely in a shirt pocket or pen case.

Smooth Writing, Every Time

What really sets the LAMY 2000 apart is how it writes. The pen comes fitted with a hooded 14-karat gold nib, coated in platinum for a modern, understated look. It’s semi-flexible and designed to adapt to your writing style, delivering smooth ink flow with just the right amount of feedback.

Whether you're jotting down notes, journalling, or writing long-form pieces, this pen glides effortlessly across the page. You’ll notice less hand fatigue over time, thanks to its well-balanced design and comfortable grip. Available in a range of nib sizes, from fine to broad, it caters to all writing preferences.

Refillable and Sustainable

Another highlight is the piston-filling system, which allows you to draw ink straight from a bottle—no need for cartridges or converters. This not only offers a larger ink capacity (great if you write often), but it’s also more environmentally friendly in the long run. A discreet ink window near the grip lets you keep an eye on how much ink is left, so you’ll never be caught out mid-sentence.

For lovers of premium ink, the LAMY 2000 pairs beautifully with high-quality bottled ink—perfect for showing off subtle colours or experimenting with different writing styles.

A Thoughtful Gift—Now on Special

Whether you’re shopping for a colleague, a recent graduate, a partner who loves writing, or even treating yourself, the LAMY 2000 makes an exceptional gift. It’s the kind of item that feels both personal and luxurious—something the recipient will use and appreciate for years to come.
