DESKEY BALL PEN
In 1928, the short-lived but important American Designers' Gallery opened in New York and introduced consumers to modern interiors and furnishings by designers, one of which was Donald Deskey. The Minnesota-born Deskey was a multi-talented and innovative furniture, interior, graphic and industrial designer, widely-known for his 1932 interior for Radio City Music Hall, as well as designing some of America's most iconic logos and symbols

PEACOCK FEATHERS BALL PEN  inspired by Louis Comfort Tiffany’s (American, 1848–1933) iridescent glass vase produced by Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company in 1900. The piece stylizes the “eye” of the peacock feather with rich iridescent hues that gradate to a light blue surrounding the eyes. 

 MUGHAL CARPET BALL PEN, The Mughal Carpet Ballpoint Pen is adapted from a luxurious carpet in the Museum’s collection. This carpet features a floral pattern similar to Persian designs. However, the precision of the stemmed plants on the border is a mark of Indian achievement..

MEISSEN FLORAL BALL PEN  The Meissen Floral Ballpoint Pen was inspired by a large white baluster-shaped vase with a Kakiemon flower and bird design, now on display at the Museum. Because of the popularity of Japanese designs, specifically the colorful floral designs of Kakiemon porcelains, they were imitated by the major eighteenth-century European manufactures.

EGYPTIAN PATTERNS BALL PEN The Metropolitan Museum of Art has released a collection of colorful and artistically styled ball pens. The Met collection range incorporates intricately and elegantly detailed interpretations of some of the Museum's most famous works of art in the shape and functionality.
