P3140

PORSCHE DESIGN P3140

The P'3140 again illustrates the Porsche Design philosophy: a writing instrument that goes into action and stops as fast as a racing car, and possesses the same sophisticated and rugged technology. It is also light and compact so can travel everywhere. The P'3140 "accelerates" with a brief movement of the wrist - the point extends, ready for writing. The same action for "braking" - the point retracts into its housing. This functions with the smooth precision of a racing car. The lightness and compact shape of the P'3140 mean that it fits in even a small pocket and so is always ready for action. It's excellent "adhesion" is also copied from the racing circuit: the barrel is made of natural india rubber with grooves to give a perfect grip when writing. The front and end pieces are made of matt chromed metal. A small projection acts as a "parking brake", and prevents the pen from rolling off a sloping desk.
The pen is very small (just 13 cm long with a barrel diameter of 1 cm.). The pen is weighty; the materials are a tactile joy; Very inusual mechanism for open it, extend/retract, is very cool!!
