Hello Lamy fans (and everybody else interested). The upcoming year 2016 marks the 50th anniversary of the 'official' birth of the Lamy design philosophy and its original flagship pen, the Lamy 2000. The principle of letting renowned designers come up with their own concept of a certain product has since spread into many consumer product lines, most notably in the personal carry knife market. But it appears that Lamy was one of the early promoters of this strategy.
The Lamy 2000 seems to me always fresh (design wise, this is my favorite pen to date, and has been for decades), and it's hard to believe that it has been in production since 1966, with only minor changes and one branching into different materials (the Lamy 2000M in stainless steel).
So, how about you all? Any hopes, expectations or wishes for how Lamy will or should tackle this anniversary? Or are any of you even in the know of what might precipitate?
(Personal dream: Lamy 2000C, rendered completely in carbon fiber; personal nightmares: Lamy says it's time to end this product line after 50 years, or redesigns it to cartridge/converter filling)
