Distinguished Italian pen manufacturer Tibaldi is honored to introduce their newest line of fine writing instruments, the Riva Collection, in commemoration of the luxurious Italian yacht manufacturer. An ideal pairing, both companies are renowned for their contribution to the luxury sector; Tibaldi as the distinguished pen producer and architect of Italy’s first fountain pen, and Riva S.p.A as the celebrated design of distinct motor yachts.

As design and style are both integral parts of both Tibaldi and Riva, the Tibaldi for Riva pen collection emphasizes their attention to detail. The exquisite lacquer work and woodwork found on the barrel and cap of each pen pays homage to Riva’s sumptuous interiors. In crafting the pen collection, Tibaldi chose to lacquer the Riva writing instruments with the same extremely durable patented secret lacquer used on Riva yachts.

Design nuances abound on this lavish pen series and in addition to the bespoke lacquer technique used, Tibaldi has also modeled the pen’s clip after the original Riva bitts, which are the vertical posts that extend above the deck to secure docking lines. As with all fine Tibaldi writing instruments, the barrel is handcrafted and features sumptuous inlaid wood reminiscent of the wooden deck on Riva yachts. Additionally, the traditional Tibaldi nibs, designed in the 1900s, are utilized in this pen collection. Each nib of the pen is crafted from 18K gold featuring a two tone coloration which seamlessly flows from white rhodium to yellow gold.

Further emphasizing their dedication to detail, Tibaldi has created a lavish case in which to store the Tibaldi for Riva collection, a fitting cool metal case, trimmed with the appropriate wood and lacquer corresponding to the writing instrument.

This limited edition Tibaldi for Riva collection is restricted to just 500 pieces of each color in both the fountain pen and the roller ball totaling 2,000 pens. The collection is available in nautical colors; Roman Bronze fitted with rose gold plating and Navy Blue trimmed with palladium.
