Unveiling of Pininfarina Space

Pininfarina #space, the first #Pininfarina project sent into #space, will be presented today to the press and international buyers at ALTEC headquarters. It’s the most recent stylus born as part of #Pininfarina Segno, the project in which #Pininfarina and #napkinforever will develop the “writing and accessories” sector. Avant-garde writing tool, #Pininfarina #space represents the evolution of a new icon in the stationery – the stylus writing limitless – in a perfect fusion between technology and #design. The #Pininfarina futuristic #design was realized entirely in magnesium, a high performing ultra-light metal.

Pininfarina #space is equipped with a writing tip in metal alloy Ethergraf®, resistant to the use and writing on standard paper thanks to an oxidation process, leaving a trait light as the one of the graphite and precise as the ink. The stylus #Pininfarina #space proved to be a functional writing tool also in absence of gravity. In July 2017 three prototypes have been gifted to the crew of the International #space Station (ISS) and went in orbit with the recent mission V.I.T.A.. The astronauts, Paolo Nespoli among them, could use it in micro-gravity conditions during the six months stay in the #space. #Pininfarina #space will enrich the Collection made up of the styluses Cambiano – in several versions – and Aero and the leather & wood Collection Folio.

Altec (Aerospace Logistics Technology Engineering Company), defined the Italian Houston, directly managed the delivery of the stylus #Pininfarina #space into the #space. Altec is the Italian center of excellence provisioning hi-tech engineering services relevant to operations and utilization of the International #space Station (ISS), other #space infrastructure, and in support of future robotic and manned planetary exploration. All the operation was documented in a series of Docuweb online on the social profiles of #Pininfarina Segno. Retail price: € 120
