Montblanc pays tribute to the life and legacy of a great German literary and cultural figure with a new limited edition writing instrument collection.
The Montblanc Writers Edition celebrates authors who have shaped culture through the written word, reflecting the Maison’s origins in the art of writing. Every edition delves into the stories and accomplishments of the remarkable voices who have left an indelible mark on humankind through their body of work.
With its latest Montblanc Writers Edition, the Maison pays homage to one of the greatest literary and intellectual figures of all time – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832). Writer, philosopher, scientist and statesman, Goethe’s contributions to both world literature and human knowledge are captured in a new collection of writing instruments that brings to life the many facets of his genius. His masterpiece Faust and his many other groundbreaking works in natural science, philosophy and the arts continue to inspire generations.
As part of this homage, Montblanc is supporting the renovation of Goethe House with a donation, including dedicated funding towards the preservation of the Juno bust – an artefact of immense personal significance to Goethe. The centre of the polymath’s life and career for many years that saw the creation of numerous important works, Goethe House served as inspiration for various design elements in the collection, with the features of the Juno bust notably decorating one of the writing instruments.
