PEN BOX / PEN DISPLAY / PICTURE FRAME

The Maasai writing instruments are offered in an innovative case, which due to its smart design offers the possibility of being used in three different functions.

First of all it is an elegant pen case handmade from special African wood (wenge). It can be used also as a pen display or as a very particular picture frame, which due to its design and distinctiveness adds beauty to any photo and without doubt compliments any desk or tabletop.  

Indigenous: native of the place…. beyond the year two thousand, the years of humanity are many. Man, today like yesterday? Man has not changed, he has progressed, man has never been "old", man has immediately uncovered itself, different from all that encircles him, he walks fast in time changing soul, spirit, religion, habits, customs, but within the bottom of the spirit remains the same man that has completed the first step towards today without ever stopping himself ..a journey, perhaps infinite... And the indigenous? numerous and fascinating are the indigenous peoples, "self sufficient and primordial, people like us walk in time but remain always within the borders of their world, walking at different steps with one extraordinary companionship, nature. What about us? Changed indigenous and marathon crowds of time, we love that being human is being different but equal, what have lost during our race through time. This is perhaps the fascination of INDIGENOUS PEOPLE.

Delta turns passion to form Passion, that vital ingredient that unites craftsmanship with design research, is behind Delta Artigiani della Scrittura's ongoing exploration of new cultural horizons. Indigenous peoples, native populations, are the ancient peoples who reflect the spirit of the land and the nation. Delta is paying tribute to the indigenous peoples of the world as the earliest and authentic representatives of their lands in a modern pen that sets out to reflect the millennia-old force of indigenous populations.  

Delta has stepped into the role of the intrepid explorer of yesteryear to find new and forgotten civilizations. Nowadays, the fountain pen can be seen as an artifact brought back to the homeland to express to others the excitement of rediscovering the past - the colors, forms, and customs that have been lost in time. Today as in the past, the pen - the instrument we use to write and relate experiences - is the instrument that million and millions of people have used to communicate themselves to the world.
