Drehgriffel Nr. 1 Bauhaus Edition. Everything starts from a dot.

Wassily Kandinsky, painter and lecturer at the Bauhaus school, summed it up neatly when he said: ‘Everything starts from a dot.’ This quote highlights the fact that for creative minds, the process of committing ideas to paper via the hand begins with a dot on the page. The first point of contact between thoughts and paper, a crucial moment.

Clean, minimalist forms, functional details, and classic colours are key features of the modern era’s most influential design school, and also the principles that have always guided the design of Leuchtturm1917 products. As a tribute to the revolutionary Bauhaus style, Leuchtturm1917 created a special edition that encompasses a notebook, Pen Loop, and Drehgriffel, and whose form, colour, and details honour the pioneering Bauhaus ethos.

Inspired by 1920s-style design and featuring a hexagonal barrel and tapered tip, the Drehgriffel Nr. 1 is an unmistakable and iconic writing instrument. Its pared-back design and great functionality reflect the principles and ideas of the Bauhaus school. With each use, a discreet dot on the twistable head reminds us of Kandinsky’s motivating motto: ‘Everything starts from a dot.’ The tip and twist top of the Drehgriffel Nr. 1 share a colour that contrasts with the colour scheme of the hexagonal pen shaft, which separates them.

The Drehgriffel Nr. 1 Bauhaus Edition contains a ballpoint refill with Royal Blue ink. Replacement or exchange refills are available in Royal Blue or black.

Perfect For:

• Everyday writing with a design-led Bauhaus instrument.
• Completing the Bauhaus Edition collection alongside the notebook and Pen Loop.
• Gift giving for design enthusiasts and stationery collectors.
