Nature is the greatest source of inspiration, and often the place that provides untapped resources for the creation act. In today’s article we explore Scribo’s latest additions to their FEEL series— two editions inspired by an ancient material whose formation spans millions of years. Used in jewelry, decorative objects or even alternative medicine, AMBER has found its way into Scribo’s craft atelier. I’ve always been a huge fan of amber shades and I still remember the fascination I had with one of my father’s pens in amber notes.
The Beauty of Amber
Amber is a fossilized tree resin that forms as a protective secretion from prehistoric trees solidifying over millions of years, with some specimens dating back to the Cretaceous period, around 100 million years ago. Isn’t it fascinating? In addition to its gorgeous brown, red, or yellow hues, amber serves as a portal to the past, offering a glimpse into ancient ecosystems and preserving traces of different eras, such as tiny organisms or plants. Today, amber is commonly used in jewelry, including necklaces, earrings, and rings, as well as in decorative objects like sculptures, and is often prized for its natural beauty and historical appeal.
Scribo FEEL Finestra sul Tempo & Ambra
Scribo has drawn inspiration from amber to breathe life into its new models in the FEEL series—Finestra sul Tempo and Ambra. The brand went beyond simply incorporating amber’s rich hues, reaching out to users with an invitation to create lasting memories through their written words.
‘Just as amber preserves the Earth’s memory, the FEEL Ambra and FEEL Finestra sul Tempo fountain pens invite you to capture emotions, thoughts, and stories—pausing the flow of time on paper,’ says the brand.
Both pens are crafted from precious resin, with Finestra sul Tempo featuring a semi-transparent mottled brown finish and Ambra showcasing a semi-transparent brown design. Scribo has thoughtfully chosen different trim finishes for these two models, creating an elegant contrast that truly stands out.
The Finestra sul Tempo is accented with ruthenium trim, while the Ambra is paired with yellow gold trim. Both editions are equipped with Scribo’s Exclusive nibs, available in either 18-carat gold or a flexible 14-carat gold option, paired with an ebonite feeder featuring two capillaries for optimal ink flow.
‘A tribute to the warmth and clarity of this ancient gem, capable of preserving the Earth’s history. Its semi-transparent brown resin and yellow gold finishes reflect the depth and delicacy of natural amber, whose timeless beauty has been cherished by cultures worldwide for millennia.’ says Scribo about the Ambra model.
I can’t help but admire the romantic association Scribo has woven into the launch of this collection. The Italian brand invites users to imagine writing as a bridge between the past and the present—a connection we naturally uphold with every writing session, carrying forward a time-honored act.
Both editions are limited to only 150 pieces worldwide and are now available on scritturabolognese.com or through authorized retailers.
