German fountain pen maker lamy started as orthos pen manufacturer in 1930, which then established its own brand in 1948. In 1966, lamy introduced its signature product, lamy 2000, which was back then motivated from bauhaus. The product bears the fountain pen manufacturer's initial impetus for its design. The writing instrument maker has continuously been collaborating with designers outside of its organization and operating its in-house manufacturing facility in heidelberg, where the company is headquartered. Lamy offers wide range of products which are "designed to be easy to use for anyone," by introducing its high-quality products at reasonable price.
