Designer: Gerd A. Müller / Lamy
The first writing instrument of the new Lamy design era was created in joint project with a "free-lancer". This was Gerd A. Müller, a man who was one of the advocates of the Bauhaus movement. This alone was enough to impel Lamy to select him to provide the company with the initial impetus for its new design style and to provide his input to it over the years.
By the 1970s the valuable experiences gained from this type of collaboration, most importantly the inspiring exchange of view between "independent creative spirits" and in-house employees who work in the area of design, had led to this co-operation growing to encompass other product designers and design studios.
