ACME Studio Calder Pen from The Met Museum

“Calder #1,” an eye-catching midcentury textile pattern created by Alexander Calder in 1949, graces this rollerball pen. Floating discs and dynamic lines in bold primary colors illustrate the artist’s interest in motion, energy, and perception. The Met is pleased to collaborate with cult manufacturer ACME Studio on a series of pens celebrating works in our collection. Well known for its commitment to fine materials and high design, ACME specializes in innovative writing implements that take inspiration from the work of world-class designers, architects, and artists.
