The Bauhaus School of Art & Design inspired the unification of art with craft while embracing new technologies for mass production. Arguably the most celebrated design school in history, Bauhaus thinkers felt the world needed to be fundamentally and critically re-thought, bringing “art into industry”. Good design became defined by minimalism and simplicity, this thinking and aesthetic approach to design has had a huge influence on rOtring design.
About Rotring Australia
1928 - Signature Nibless Fountain Pen the first nibless fountain pen is unveiled. The model was to become affectionately referred to as “Tiku” around the world. The design combines the ink-flow regulator with a tubular nib and a regulator wire. The result is a classic needle point pen known by rOtring loyalists as the “Tintenkuli”. 1931 - Patented Design the first patent for a rOtring ink pen with tubular nib is granted. Pens no longer necessitate a huge space on one’s desk and a new era of flexibility commences.
1953 - A New Ruling Pen - Helmuth Riepe creatively expands on the Tiku concept; taking it a step further by developing the rOtring rapidograph. The results become the prototypical technical pen. The new technology replaces the ruling pen of the day and greatly simplifies technical drawing (and continues to do so today), creating the technical pen category. The rotring Rollerpen and the “Tiku-Kuli” ballpen become key writing instrument innovations of the 1950’s.
