Lamy Fountain Pens
Lamy fountain pens are a practical option for everyday use. Their flair for innovation is evident in the 2000 with its inbuilt converter, and the Dialog 3 which uses a twist mechanism to pop the nib in and out. The ergonomic Lamy Safari fountain pen is especially popular with schoolchildren. Nib options range from extra fine to broad, including left-handed and beginner’s (more rounded). Lamy offer one easy change nib for most ranges, with replacement nibs, ink cartridges, bottled ink and converters available. -
Lamy Ballpoints
If you’re seeking something a little different, look no further than a Lamy ballpoint pen. With funky styling, space-age materials and innovative features, this German brand has challenged conventions. The hugely popular Safari is available as a ballpoint with its distinctive ergonomic grip. For pure innovation, the compact Pico extends to a full sized pen using air pressure whilst the Dialog has an ergonomic triangular body. Lamy ballpoint pens only take Lamy refills, available as a medium point in blue or black ink. -
Lamy Rollerball
All Lamy’s most popular models, including the Safari and Al-star, are available as a rollerball pen. Requiring less maintenance than a fountain pen, a Lamy rollerball produces a similar line quality and writes with a comparably smooth feel. Their Swift pushes the boundaries, engineered to use a convenient push button mechanism typically associated with ballpoints. The clip also becomes flush against the barrel when writing for added comfort. Make sure you only choose Lamy rollerball refills. -
Lamy Multifunction
Experts in innovation, Lamy have taken multifunction pens to the next level with their functional and unique gravity selection mechanism. As well as offering multi-colour ballpoints and pencil-and-pen combos, they’ve incorporated highlighters and touchscreen styluses into these all-singing, all-dancing pens. Their award winning 2000 is also available as a multifunction, with four colours to liven up your notes. Additional refills available in blue, black, red and green. -
Lamy Pencils
If you’ve already got a Lamy pen, why not complete the set with a Lamy pencil? The brand’s reputation for innovation is evident in features such as comfortable grips, ingenious lead propulsion systems and smart, functional styling. Popular ranges such as Safari, Al-Star and the award winning 2000 are available as pencils, as well as the distinctive Scribble with its short, bulbous body that can be held loosely in the middle giving you more freedom of movement. Most Lamy pencils come with a 0.5 or 0.7mm lead. -
Lamy Inks & Refills
Lamy ink cartridges are suitable for use in all of their fountain pens, and come in limited edition colours too. Their nibs are especially quick and easy to change, and come in a wide range of widths to suit your style (tend to be finer than other brands – see nib comparison). Lamy ballpoint refills, rollerball refills and pencil leads are also available in medium tip in blue or black ink. Please take note that the Swift, Pico and multifunction pens take special refills. -
Lamy Pen Sets
In smart presentation packaging, a Lamy pen set makes a great gift. Each combo set in this collection comes with a stylish pocket-size leather case. The calligraphy sets, meanwhile, all include a box of ink cartridges and three nibs of different widths. -
Lamy New in
Lamy never ceases to impress with new ways to improve on classic designs, releasing exciting new special edition colours which often become collector’s items (recent colours include, copper orange and neon line). The ever popular Safari and Al Star have a huge back catalogue of colours, many of which are also released as ink cartridge colours too. Make sure you snap up a limited edition while stocks last. -

Lamy Stories
Lamy Nib Sizes - A Visual Comparison
Lamy offer a wide range of nib sizes for their fountain pens, which goes hand in hand with their reputation as being the writer’s pen. Our visual guide shows the differences in their nibs from extra fine to broad. Not too many brands offer an extra fine nib, and Lamy’s is especially sought after since it is the finest of all brands we tested. Their broad nib is also quite generous, giving you quite a good spread.
Lamy Ink Colour
We compared Lamy’s blue, blue-black and black ink colour against other brands with very favourable results, coming top in two categories. Their black ink delivered one of the more intense and solid blacks, whilst their blue and blue black were rich in colour and truest to their name. We also tested ink bleed (the extent to which the ink bleeds out of the desired line), which for Lamy was very minimal.
Lamy Safari: The Success Story
The Lamy Safari was developed to help make fountain pens more child friendly once it became a requirement to use one in most schools. The ergonomic grip, robust design, affordable price and funky styling quickly made it into a must have in most classrooms. Accolades followed such as the IF design award in 1994, hailing it as an ‘outstanding design achievement’, and its popularity grew with adults too. The ergonomic grip and lightweight design makes it effortless to use, and the nib is easily replaceable with plenty of options from left handed to extra fine. The Safari also caters for the inner stationery geeks within us, with plenty of limited edition colours to make us feel a bit different.
