Rhodia scRipt Ballpoint Pen A precision-machined aluminium writing instrument from one of France's most respected stationery houses. Rhodia has been making exceptional paper products in France since 1934, and the scRipt Ballpoint Pen applies that same commitment to a writing instrument designed to sit alongside the iconic notebooks. The result is a pen that earns its place on a desk rather than simply occupying it. The hexagonal barrel is machined from aluminium with a brushed anodised finish - a form that references the geometry of classic drafting pencils, and one that prevents the pen rolling off a surface. At 127 mm closed and weighing 20 g, it has the density of something considered without feeling heavy in the hand during extended writing sessions. The 0.7 mm retractable tip uses a low-viscosity oil-based ink that lays down a clean, consistent line with minimal drag. This is a ballpoint that writes on the first stroke rather than requiring the coaxing that lesser refills often demand. The push-button retract mechanism is smooth and positive, with no looseness. The brass clip, engraved with the Rhodia wordmark, is firm enough to hold securely in a shirt pocket without distorting the fabric. The pen accepts standard D1-format refills, which means it is both immediately useful and easy to maintain long-term. A range of quality third-party D1 refills is widely available, including options from Schmidt, giving you control over line weight and ink type as your preferences develop. Available in a restrained palette of colours including black, orange, grey, and titanium, each finished to match the tones of Rhodia's notebook range. Presented in a simple card box with a window - practical packaging that doubles as a considered gift presentation.
