 THIS IS THE FIRST PEN IN THE CULT SERIES DESIGNED BY SYLVESTER STALLONE. IN ONE OF THE MORE INTERESTING RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE WORLD OF FOUNTAIN PENS, MONTEGRAPPA HAS LAUNCHED A SERIES OF PEN MODELS DESIGNED BY ACTOR AND DIRECTOR SYLVESTER STALLONE. A LONG-TIME AFICIONADO AND COLLECTOR OF MONTEGRAPPA PENS, MR. STALLONE ALSO SERVED AS THE FACE OF MONTEGRAPPA IN THE COMPANY’S ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN. AS MR. STALLONE EXPLAINED, “MY IDEA OF CHAOS IS A SENSE OF THE RENAISSANCE, WHEN THINGS WERE MORE SIMPLIFIED AND PERHAPS MORE NOBLE, PLACED AGAINST OUR CURRENT TECHNOLOGICAL SOCIETY.”

DRAWING ON CLASSICAL ART TO HELP EXPRESS THIS IDEA, TO ENSURE THAT THEIR USE OF THE LANGUAGE WAS CULTIVATED AND NOT MISUSED, THE MR. STALLONE AND MONTEGRAPPA’S DESIGNERS TURNED TO THE WORK OF 16TH CENTURY ARTISTS INCLUDING BATTISTA FRANCO, ALBRECHT DÜRER, HANS SEBALD BEHAM, AND ANTONIO POLLAIOLO.

IN DEEP, SCULPTED RELIEF, THEY FORGED THE IMAGES OF CHAOS AND OF DEATH, ENTWINED INEXORABLY AND ETERNALLY. SYLVESTER STALLONE’S CHAOS PEN FEATURES A BODY FASHIONED FROM BLACK PEARLISED CELLULOID, WITH OVERLAYS IN STERLING SILVER. THE OVERLAY IS HAND-FINISHED BY MONTEGRAPPA’S SKILLED CRAFTSMEN AND FEATURES AN “ANTIQUED” FINISH, WITH ACCENTS IN TRANSLUCENT ENAMEL. THE PREDOMINANT BLACK AND SILVER CONTRAST WITH REDS AND YELLOWS, THE COLOURS OF FIRE.
