It rained today.
"[The month of mid-spring] begins with rain, and peaches begin to bloom."
"Collection of the Seventy-Two Hours of the Moon Order" "Jie" records, "In the middle of the first month, the sky generates water. The beginning of spring belongs to wood, but what grows wood must be water, so the beginning of spring is followed by rain. And when the east wind thaws, it disperses and turns into rain."
The coldness of the winter was soaked by the east wind, and melted into the continuous spring rain, moistening everything silently. The vegetation is budding and the scenery is bright in spring.
The mention of "Spring Rain" reminds people of a noble profession - teacher.
Teachers, so they preach and learn karma to resolve doubts. In ancient times, he was also called "Master", "Mountain Chief", "Teacher" or "Sir".
"Spring silkworms will not run out of silk until they die, and wax torches will turn to ashes before tears dry up." "Falling red is not a heartless thing. It turns into spring mud to protect flowers." "Sneak into the night with the wind, Moisturizing things silently"...Throughout the ages, poems praising and praising teachers are readily available.
The epidemic lasted for several days, and faced with the postponement of the start of the major universities, there is a group of people who open an APP that they have never used. The first second they were parents and children, struggling with daily necessities. Busy in the atmosphere of fireworks, the next second I sit upright and use a brand-new way to deliver the rain of knowledge to the students.
Among all LAMY series, there is also such a pen, which can be called a milestone of LAMY and the forerunner of many existing series.
It is LAMY2000.
As we all know, LAMY was born in Heidelberg, Germany in 1930. Its predecessor was the Ouse ink pen manufacturing factory established by Mr. C. Josef Lamy, the founder of the LAMY brand.
Thirty-six years later, in 1966, the Bauhaus trend swept Europe. Designers Gerd A. Müller and LAMY, who participated in and promoted the Bauhaus movement, created A classic ink pen of the century was created and named "LAMY2000".
The word "Bauhaus" comes from the Bauhaus School. Many friends who study design may have heard of it. Its establishment marked the birth of modern design.
The principle of Bauhaus design is the compatibility of function and art. It is a science that applies the past to the present and eliminates the bad while retaining the good. If you try to increase it by one point, it will be too long, and if you subtract one point, it will be too short. You should delete the complex and make it simple, and put people first.
It pays attention to the combination of practicality and beauty to achieve a perfect state, explores the new unity of art and technology, and requires designers to "inject soul into dead mechanical products."
Some friends may be wondering, what I am introducing today is LAMY2000, so why should I spend a lot of time introducing Bauhaus?
For LAMY, Bauhaus is the core and soul of the entire brand design. LAMY is also the only writing brand in the world that continues the Bauhaus concept.
The designer of LAMY2000, Gerd A. Müller, was a pioneer of the Bauhaus school and established the design concept of LAMY. Starting from LAMY2000, all products since then have followed the Bauhaus design style.
LAMY2000 is called a "milestone", and the reasons don't stop there.
LAMY2000 pioneered LAMY’s design and production process. Since then, each series has been based on LAMY2000 with continuous innovation in materials, technology, technology and design. It is also like a The mentor provided a guiding light for subsequent writing instruments.
When you walk on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, New York, USA, and are immersed in the wealth and excitement revealed by the glass windows of the rows of shops on the street, you might as well walk forward and you will see a unique building. It contains the world's most extraordinary modern art works since the 19th century, such as paintings by well-known art masters such as Van Gogh, Monet, and Picasso.
This is the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), known as "one of the most outstanding collections of modern art in the world."
If you have time to visit the museum, you may be able to see that one of the collections on display is the same as yours——
Yes, LAMY2000 is permanently collected by MoMA as a writing instrument. Its importance in modern art design is self-evident.
"The only solution to worries is Du Kang."
This is the most common fan description of LAMY2000.
"Dukang" means wine.
LAMY2000 is like a pot of fine wine. The older it is, the mellower its aroma will be.
Speaking of which, do you know why among the many series of "safari", "al-star" and "dialog", only this one is named after a number? Do you know the meaning of "2000"?
I have heard that some friends think it means the price of "2000". Of course, I do not deny that the designer may have had a flash in his mind when naming the name, and this person My friend had an affair, and "2000" actually meant "2000 AD".
Such a prophetic and futuristic name was proposed in 1966. There are few existing products in the world that can match this series and maintain such a long life cycle.
Like the Sonnet No. 14 chair (1851), the Coca-Cola bottle (1915), the Rolex Oyster watch (1962) and the Porsche 911 (1963), but over the years, the above The above-mentioned products have undergone improvements to varying degrees.
The LAMY2000 series has always maintained its original appearance and has not changed for decades.
54 years later, this pen is still a dazzling star among writing instrument brands, and is eagerly collected by enthusiasts. Won the German brand award German brand gold medal.
In the past year of 2019, one word for online platforms made it onto the list of annual buzzwords, namely "pan it".
LAMY2000 can also "disk", and it can also "disk" and "paste". However, not every LAMY2000 can be coated with paste, and the material of the pen body is not wood, but this Makrolon LAMY2000.
You may not have heard of "Makrolon", so let me rephrase it. For example, it is a material widely used in the ceiling of the Capital Stadium, the front windshield of high-end cars, and in the field of precision medicine.
Makrolon is wear-resistant and heat-resistant. When used as the pen body of an ink pen, it can extend the service life of the pen.
Makrolon itself is transparent and colorless. You can see that the patina is not due to the Makrolon material, but to the seven layers of Markrolon attached to the pen body. ) industrial paint. This kind of paint can react with the temperature and humidity of the user's hands, showing an "antique-like thick luster." The longer it is used, the higher the gloss.
I once heard a colleague working at Lingmei China say that a gentleman who worked at a higher education institution bought a LAMY2000 at the Lingmei counter in Xidan Joy City, Beijing ten years ago. I came to him before to ask him to help clean it. He said that it was for my child's gold medal, and I wanted to give this pen that has accompanied my husband for many years to his son and continue to pass it on.
“I even took some photos as a souvenir,” he said, turning the photos over to me. After ten years of baptism, the pen has become smooth and translucent, and will last forever.
The 14K white gold nib is a little harder than the two-color nib inlaid with white gold and is suitable for daily writing; the half-pack retro-style nib shape has a small stress-bearing area, is not easy to split, and has a longer service life.
The transparent four-section visual ink window combines the practicality of easily checking the remaining ink level with the "continuous" visual aesthetic that can be maintained when the ink is exhausted, which further embodies the Bauhaus design style.
The pen body is seamlessly connected with brushed stainless steel and Makrolon. Even after 54 years, people are still full of praise for the exquisiteness of this technology.
What is particularly unique is the inking method of the LAMY2000 ink pen.
LAMY2000 is an exclusive piston-type ink absorption method with built-in ink storage. In other words, there is no need to unscrew the pen barrel and use the ink absorber to fill the ink. You only need to gently press the end of the pen. Twist it to expel the air in the pen, insert it into the ink and tighten it clockwise to complete the ink absorption.
The whole process takes less than ten seconds, and the ink capacity is 1.5 times that of other ink pens. Such an inking method is still leading the world today, and it is remarkable from the perspective of design and practicality.
In addition to Makrolon materials, LAMY2000 also comes in brushed steel, 50th anniversary limited edition and Bauhaus 100th anniversary commemorative models. The author will introduce it in detail in a subsequent article.
Pioneering, laying foundation and passing on.
The fourteen years of the Bauhaus School (1919-1933) passed by in a blink of an eye and have become a lost pearl in the long history.
In these fourteen years, the educational concept of modern design was created, and irrefutable achievements in art education theory and practice were achieved, leaving behind The blood of Bauhaus still continues to this day, spreading into all aspects of life.
Moisturizing things silently, for the change of design concepts, for the improvement of educational concepts, for the pursuit of visual aesthetics, and for the yearning for quality life, Bauhaus is the same, so is LAMY.
Then you can also start with LAMY2000.
