In 1930, C. Joseph Lamy concluded his tenure with the Parker Pen Company and embarked on a journey to craft his own fountain pens in Heidelberg, Germany. Under the initial brand name "Orthos," he embarked on this endeavor. In 1949, the production of a fresh and ingeniously designed series, known as "Artus," commenced. A pivotal moment arrived in 1952 when the company rebranded itself as "Lamy," remaining an independent, family-owned enterprise. Lamy emerged as a trailblazer in the utilization of molded synthetic plastics to craft their writing instruments. They are renowned for producing pens that embody sleekness, high functionality, minimalistic design, and innovative features. Over the years, Lamy's designs have garnered numerous awards, with the Lamy 2000 being the most iconic among them.
