Gentleman Scholar Philosophy
Gentleman Scholar® is a contemporary designer of fine fountain pens and fashion. Each piece is designed for Fellows who accept their inherent duty to make their mark, and enable others to make their own.
Gentleman Scholar Fountain Pens are uniquely constructed by hand. Much like the people for whom they are intended, many hands are involved in their individuation. As such, no two Fountain Pens nor Fellows are the same - exceptional by design.
Each Gentleman Scholar fountain pen is both a fine writing instrument and a profound symbol of the exceptional duty accepted by our Fellows. Throwing evocative flourishes of ink unique to its wielding hand, each fountain pen represents the intrinsic individuality of each Fellow, enriched by their own formative experiences, trials and triumphs.
Charged with the bold blacks of Gentleman Scholar Vintage Inks, each German-made Genius Iridium Nib of our Fountain Pen collections implores you to write the future with inks of the past.
The Pillars of Gentleman Scholar
All facets of Gentleman Scholar design, from the architecture of its society of Fellows through to its public-facing products embrace the following tenets; as two sides of the same coin:
"Exceptional Instruments..."
The influence of Gentleman Scholar's founder, an acclaimed Academic and Philosopher, can be observed from the floor to ceiling of Gentleman Scholar's underlying blueprint for exceptional design.
Expertly fashioned by the internationally curated talents of master craftsmen, Gentleman Scholar's fine writing instruments and fashion pieces reflect its founder's eccentric obsessions with the precision of surgical instrumentation, ancient philosophical abstractions, and powerfully ubiquitous symbols that together continue to inspire the House's recognisable signature.
"...for an Exceptional Duty."
Each Gentleman Scholar fountain pen's considered silhouette, deliberate weight distribution and intentional choices of fine alloy embellishments endows the hand with its perfectly matched tool to express complex thought and sentiment. Much like humanity's collectively inherited unconscious, the fountain pen's gifted capabilities and purpose are further coloured by the inks of individual experiences. Each unique pen stroke is yours alone to make.
