Pininfarina SPACE is a writing tool designed for space. Made entirely of magnesium, an ultra-light material with high
mechanical performance, Pininfarina Space was given to the crew of the International Space Station (ISS) during the latest V.I.T.A. mission.
The astronauts, including the Italian Paolo Nespoli, were therefore able to use it in microgravity conditions, where normal pens do not work.
The Ethergraf® metal alloy with which the tip is forged writes through oxidation without the need for graphite or ink, thus perfectly suiting the environmental characteristics of space stations, where the micro debris produced by the graphite of normal pencils is very dangerous for the filtration system.
