the Noble Desk Pen

Black recycled yarn and handpicked textile scraps with a history turn into a unique, tactile writing instrument: Your most beautiful, sensual and gorgeous messenger of a new era of consciousness.

Design and Manufacturing

Black or white Italian recycled cotton yarn, made from primary waste scraps produced by the garment industry, forms the basis of the Noble Desk Pen. The discarded scraps are sorted by colour, shredded, pressed into bales, and spun into coarse yarn.

A special place belongs to the handpicked and hand processed
textile stripe of the remnants of the 16 »shadow&light« labels, e.g.
remnants of old wedding gowns, handwoven textiles from a women’s project in Guatemala, remnants of fair sneakers from Pakistan, enchanting textile remnants from fashion labels in Munich, pure sheep wool selvedges from the alpine upland, organic cotton selvedges from the Swabian Alb and Italian recycled yarn from process waste. 

The exclusive textiles are then coated in manaomea’s signature organic resin made from >95% renewable resources.
The artfully crafted pen shaft is then embellished with handmade fittings made of brass galvanized with precious metals, creating a writing instrument that may well herald the revival of the desk pen. At the core: a replaceable ballpoint refill of the finest quality, made in Germany.

The Noble Desk Pen can well be considered an exciting luxury item. Its value lies not only in the exclusivity of its materials and the unique method of its production, but also in the powerful contribution it makes to a more ecologically and socially conscious world.

What could be more luxurious than a loving fusion of ethics and aesthetics? When ethics and aesthetics kiss each other, new life begins.
