Both Pens In Stock Now!
Following the success of the previous editions, Pelikan proudly presents the third chapter of the Pelikan Art Collection: THE SOUVERÄN M600 PELIKAN ART COLLECTION GEORG TIPPEL. This special edition reinterprets a defining artwork from Pelikan’s early visual heritage and transforms it into a contemporary writing instrument.
At the heart of this edition lies Tippel’s 1899 poster "Grundfarben," created for Pelikan’s first poster competition. His work exemplifies the powerful dialogue between artistic expression and brand communication at the dawn of modern advertising.
Tippel’s "Grundfarben" presents the pelican as a nurturing parent caring for its young - a symbol rooted in historical legend and long associated with devotion, responsibility and trust. Through form, colour and composition, Tippel transformed a commercial poster into a narrative image of enduring resonance. His work communicates not only a product, but a set of values - continuity, responsibility and commitment - that still remain central to Pelikan today.
By transferring a historic work of advertising art onto the barrel of the fountain pen, this edition continues Pelikan’s tradition of transforming cultural heritage into objects of writing art - a masterpiece reimagined for the present.
A subtle yet expressive detail from Tippel’s original artwork defines the design of this
edition. The flowing cloud formations from the sky of the 1899 poster have been reimagined as an abstract, rhythmic pattern across the decorative sleeve of the fountain pen.
The softly contoured forms interact with light to create depth, movement and a delicate shimmering effect. Framed by semi-transparent warm brown resin components, the motif harmoniously connects historic artwork with contemporary craftsmanship.
Crafted using the sophisticated Aurora process, the barrel features finely engraved guilloché structures beneath multiple layers of lacquer, creating a luminous surface that
enhances the visual presence of the design.
The Souverän M600 "Georg Tippel" combines Pelikan’s renowned technical precision with refined aesthetics. The special edition fountain pen features:
a piston-filling system
a two-tone 14kt gold nib
24kt gold-plated trims and iconic Pelikan clip
Presented in a book-style package with a miniature reproduction of Tippel’s historic poster, the edition unites artwork and writing instrument in a single experience.
Series II Rudi Rother
The Pelikan Souverän M600 Art Collection "Rudi Rother" is a special edition fountain pen released in late 2025. It is the second installment in Pelikan's Art Collection series, following the 2023 Glauco Cambon edition, and pays tribute to the golden age of advertising art.
Artistic Inspiration
The pen is dedicated to Rudi Rother (1863–1909), a German painter and illustrator prominent in the Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) movement. Rother won a prestigious Pelikan poster competition in 1903 with a work featuring a woman writing next to a pelican; the pen's barrel design is specifically inspired by the ornamental pattern of that woman's dress.
