TRITTICO is the complete set of the 3 CENTO3 writing instruments, the latest project designed by Achille Castiglioni in 2001 together with his friend and colleague Gianfranco Cavaglià, engineered and brought to light by EGOUNDESIGN in 2021.
Inside of:
CENTO3.E multifunctional tool - by its nature practical, comfortable and suitable for every creative need.
CENTO3.G pocket fountain pen - resolutely chosen in the pocket version so as to be more current, unconventional and also close to the new generations.
CENTO3.O mechanical microlead – for precision and accuracy of the technical drawing.
In the CENTO3 collection, design rigor, engineering and structural development, resulting from the comparison of the EGOUNDESIGN Team with the architect Cavaglià, coexist with the acuity and irony of the architect Castiglioni's observations.
The CENTO3 instruments are characterized by an unprecedented trilobal arched shape, developed and researched as a more ergonomic and comfortable section to hold, as well as by a production entirely implemented with three-dimensional printing: a technique that through Additive Manufacturing it starts from an empty space, depositing the material only where it is necessary until the complete piece is created, therefore without producing any material waste. This layering process leaves the object with a knurled texture that makes pleasant and soft the surface to the touch.
When choosing the suitable material, EGOUNDESIGN added microspheres graphene - technically graphene is a monoatomic layer of carbon derived from the exfoliation of graphite, light and resistant - based on PLA, a biobased material derived from renewable raw materials of vegetal origin such as potatoes and corn starch, compostable, biodegradable and particularly versatile in use.
