Ex Oriente Lux — Light rises from the East.
The transformation continues with the newly designed Orient body band. Flowing waves embrace the band, accompanied by the ancient Latin motto “Ex Oriente Lux.” The waves evoke the perpetual movement of Eastern ornament and the ever-changing relationship between light and shadow. This distinctive band design will now become a standard signature element of the Orient model.
Ex Oriente Lux — Light rises from the East.
The East has always held a particular fascination: a world where art, symbolism and craftsmanship come together in a language of their own. It is a place of contrasts — of shadow and light, movement and stillness, geometry and organic form. Orient was born from this fascination.
At the heart of the Orient is the idea of “the curve in its own tension” — a form deeply rooted in the visual language of Eastern art. Its flowing silhouette moves naturally along the length of the pen, while sharp, deliberate cuts at either end bring balance and definition to the organic curve.
For this new interpretation of Orient, we wanted to take that idea further.
The transformation continues with the newly designed Orient body band. Flowing waves embrace the band, accompanied by the ancient Latin motto “Ex Oriente Lux.” The waves evoke the perpetual movement of Eastern ornament and the ever-changing relationship between light and shadow. This distinctive band design will now become a standard signature element of the Orient model.
For this Exclusive Edition, we have chosen an antique bronze finish and platinum trim, giving the metalwork a warm, aged character that complements the rich depth of marbeling material.

Taking inspiration from classic fountain pen shapes, Celestial Fountain Pen stays true to this concept in its body design by incorporating geometric forms that highlight celestial themes found in design. The traditional “wheel of fortune” geometric shape on cap finial represents the 12 zodiac signs. The twelve-sided geometric pattern, commonly encountered in the Eurasia and Middle East, also depicts the same celestial theme.
Celestial Fountain Pen is made with quality resin, featuring attention-grabbing color combinations. The antique trim on the metal accents are giving silver-like touch to the design.
Although the Turkish baroque style stands out as a style influenced by Europe, it distinguished it from its contemporaries due to its unique nuances.
This is a reference to the ornamental style of Baroque Model fountain pen. The floral ornaments on the silver bracelet and cover wedge are inspired by the Dolmabahçe Palace, the pearl of the Bosporus.
The relationship of long-established civilizations with the pen has always been deep and meaningful. The pen has always been a tool for the purposes such as delivering a message to the addressee in a faithful manner and protecting information and documents. So the meaning of the pen is almost identical to the meaning of civilization.
