Pelikan Art Collection – Rudi Rother

The Souveran® M600 Pelikan Art Collection Rudi Rother is a special edition that revives the bold, geometric aesthetic of Rudi Rother’s historic advertising poster. This work rebels with a modern approach, capturing the expressiveness of the original poster.

Artistic heritage: At the turn of the 20th century, posters became the meeting point of art and commerce. Pelikan collaborated with pioneering artists and designers, producing a archive of advertising masterpieces that continues to inspire.

About Rudi Rother (1863–1909): A German painter and illustrator of Jugendstil (Art Nouveau), known for humorous ink illustrations, flowing lines, and decorative designs that influenced advertising art.

Design history: The organic motif of Rother’s female figure is the striking decorative element of the pen. The holographic effect texture adds liveliness and attractive shine.

Craftsmanship: A brass tube is machined, engraved, and guilloched with extremely fine grooves for a bright, holographic effect. After ten layers of transparent varnish and careful polishing, the multistage colored design is printed, offering a high gloss finish on the surface.

This edition continues Pelikan’s journey, bringing iconic images from the past into contemporary writing instruments.
