German luxury goods manufacturer Montblanc recently announced the launch of a new series of special edition pens, in honour of what would have been the 70th birthday of musician and singer-songwriter John Lennon.
The man. The legend.Aptly named the John Lennon Edition, the collection pays tribute to the controversial yet enduring icon, and comprises a series of distinctively designed fountain pens, ballpoint pens, and rollerball pens.
What's fascinating about the series is that specific details of each design were chosen to reflect facets of Lennon's life and personality. For instance, the use of blue-toned transparent precious resin in one design references Lennon’s trademark blue glasses, while another design is engraved with the release date of Lennon's best-known single “Imagine”.

In addition to the release of the series, Montblanc will be contributing to selected music education cultural projects and is even collaborating with US-based non-profit organisation John Lennon Education Tour Bus to provide free hands-on programmes for young people interested in composing, playing, performing, recording and producing songs and music videos.
