BRASS RETRACTABLE PEN - Solid brass pen by PICUS, Japan.
Fine ballpoint pen with a retractable tip, using the unique texture of brass. All surface parts are solid brass, except the clip which is iron plated.
Each brass piece is carefully crafted by skilled artisans in Japan. There is no clear coating to appreciate the patina of time, use, and environment. Oil and air will naturally darken this piece and make it shinier. This is part of its natural beauty.
If brass pieces are exposed to water or humidity for long periods, the metal may change color more quickly or become stained.
Thus, each piece withstands the years without deteriorating but instead evolves and develops a patina through use.

THE PICUS EXPERTISE
What makes these objects unique
Made of solid brass
The parts are crafted from solid brass by Japanese artisans. A dense, straightforward metal that catches the light.
No varnish
The surface is not fixed by a transparent treatment: the air and the oil from the hands darken the metal, giving it more character.
Patina, the signature of time
Stripes and reflections create a unique surface. Two identical objects always end up standing out from each other.
Useful items
Trays, card holders, key holders, paperweights: simple shapes that fit perfectly on a desk or in an entryway.
The spirit of travel from days gone by
Luggage tags, hotel keys, engraved clips: PICUS draws inspiration from the world of trains and grand hotels.
An open interview
You can polish it to restore the original gold color, or let time darken the metal. Both stay true to the brand's spirit.
