In 2001 Achille Castiglioni together with his friend and colleague Arch. Gianfranco Cavaglià deals with the significance of the ‘handgrip’ and did come up with a trilobate arched shape which, thanks to its functional characteristics, could accomplish the true alliance between mind, hand, and object. The complex unique arched shape turns out to be extremely clean in its design, ergonomic and perfect to be embraced by the three fingers of the hand. Combining a revolutionary material as graphene with the additional manufacturing 3D printing technology, has realized CENTO3, a writing tool that respects the project goal: innovation, sustainability, respect for quality and costs so to make it affordable for the most. Each artifact becomes even more valuable thanks to its own mark, like a scar, unrepeatable and unique for the texture obtained from the processing of the graphene filament, for its tactile pleasantness and for the natural finishing color of graphene. The name: CENTO3, are the years from the birth of Achille Castiglioni (1918) to the realization and presentation to the public of the writing project of the two architects Castiglioni and Cavaglià (2021).
