Little Prince Pen Sets

Before the characters of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry met, they were both missing something from their lives, which they then received from each other. Both their characters change throughout the story. They work in a similar dynamic as we do in our love and everyday life. Our personalities are constantly changing, influenced by a good read, a powerful movie, a definitive story or another person. When we stop lying to ourselves and learn to listen to ourselves and to listen to that certain inner voice, which, let’s admit, is sometimes brutally honest, then we will truly understand the meaning of one of the most famous lines of the book: “A man can only see well with his heart…” Once we have mastered this in life, the question of responsibility automatically comes in. As Antoine de Saint-Exupéry writes: “You have become once and for all responsible for what you have tamed.” Exactly! We have a responsibility to nurture, to care, to love, to let go or to part. When I make these pens, I always wonder, who has tamed whom actually? It is as difficult to decide these roles in the relationship between the little prince and the fox as it is in a relationship between a couple. You might ask: is it even important to define? Do we need to be aware of who tames and who is tamed?! The Little Prince Pen Set is available exclusively in pairs. I make them using Leveche models because their shape is perfectly suitable for displaying the pattern. The body is made of turquoise coloured stabilized foam maple. The colour of the nibs harmonises perfectly with the silver and rose gold metalwork. In addition to the little prince, you can also discover the other key motif of the story, the rose, which appears as a ruby ornament on the pen. I always tell the owners of the Little Prince pen sets that by buying, they are also given the responsibility for each other and their pens.
