Your pen rest
Selectable at checkout via "Pen + rest"
Anti-drying
A small amount of water keeps the nib moist and prevents ink from drying during short breaks.
Controlled restart
A few strokes on a test sheet are enough to restore normal flow after a break.
Protection
Stable position, no risk of staining, rolling or damaging the nib.
The rest is designed for short breaks. During longer pauses (20 to 30 minutes), ink may fully flow into the rest. Cleaning or refilling is then recommended.
The rest greatly reduces unnecessary interruptions and secures your gesture, without replacing good maintenance practices.
