The Dialog 3 pen is the third in a series of pens developed in the last ten years as a “dialogue” between Lamy and a designer. Franco Clivio-- a Swiss-based designer/engineer/lecturer, who has designed products for Siemens and Erco, among others—designed the Dialog 3. Dialog 1 is a ballpen—with a unique triangular body-- designed by German architect/designer Richard Sapper; Dialog 2 is a sleek rollerball designed by Danish designer/architect Knud Holscher.
