The Toms Studio “The Studio” Fountain Pen in Mulberry is a masterclass in combining modern industrial design with artisanal flair. The Mulberry finish is a deep, sophisticated plum that feels both regal and contemporary, accented by a Gold-Plated Finial that adds a luxurious “anchor” to the pen’s minimalist profile.

Designed by Tom Elmhirst, this pen is built for those who want a “forever tool” that can adapt to any writing stylefrom standard note-taking to expressive calligraphy.

Signature Features: The Versatile Artist

The Studio is defined by its modularity and the sheer variety of specialized nibs available, allowing you to curate your perfect writing experience.

• Mulberry & Gold Aesthetic: The body is precision-machined from aircraft-grade anodized aluminum, giving it a silky matte texture that is resistant to scratches. The rich Mulberry purple is perfectly complemented by the warm glow of the gold-plated finial and clip.

• Extensive Specialty Nib Range: Unlike standard brands, Tom’s Studio offers high-performance grinds straight from the box:

  • 14K Gold Nibs: Available in Fine and Medium for a classic, buttery writing experience.

  • EF Semi-Flex (Gold): Offers elegant, controlled line variation with a touch of vintage feel.

  • Titanium Flex: A modern favorite that provides “springy” feedback and dramatic line swells for calligraphy.

  • Artistic Grinds: Includes Cursive Italic (crisp line contrast), Architect (thick horizontal, thin vertical), Fude (bent nib for brush strokes), and Zoom (width changes by angle).

• Interchangeable Threaded System: The nib units are threaded, meaning you can swap your Architect nib for a Fude nib in seconds without needing to buy a new pen.

Writing Experience & Specifications

• Filling Mechanism: Features a Standard International Cartridge/Converter system. A high-quality converter is included, allowing you to use bottled inks (like the Tom’s Studio Mulberry ink) right away.

• Ergonomic “Waist”: The grip section features a subtle taper that prevents fingers from sliding toward the nib, ensuring comfort during long-form writing or sketching.

• Balanced Weight: At approximately 26g, the pen is substantial enough to feel high-end but light enough to prevent hand fatigue during daily use.

• Precision Seal: The screw-cap is engineered with high tolerances to create an airtight seal, preventing your ink from drying out even if the pen is left unused for several days.

The Enthusiasts Note: “The Mulberry finish is arguably the most ‘English’ color in the collectionit has a beautiful depth that shifts slightly in the light. If you really want to see this pen perform, pair the Architect or Cursive Italic nib with a high-shading purple ink; it turns everyday handwriting into a work of art.”
