Gaia: the colours of the Earth

Gaia was the ancient Greek personification of the Earth, and Nahvalur's Gaia edition captures her in colour: ocean blues, leafy greens and flashes of golden yellow. The resin is hand-poured by Starry Night Resins, so the pattern on every pen is unique. Nahvalur also shares a portion of the proceeds from Gaia with environmental organisations.

The Horizon design

The Horizon has a traditional cigar shape with tapered ends, a screw-on cap and a comfortable 10.5mm grip section. At 153mm capped and 13mm wide it fills the hand nicely, and the cap posts securely if you prefer a longer pen (168mm posted).

Piston filling made simple

Turn the end of the barrel and the built-in piston draws ink straight from the bottle. There is no converter to fit or cartridge to replace, and the ink window lets you see at a glance when it is time to refill. It is the perfect pen for exploring your bottled ink collection.

Choose your nib

• Fine: crisp lines for small handwriting and notes
• Medium: the all-rounder for daily writing
• Broad and Double Broad: wet, bold lines that show off shading and sheen
• Stub 1.1: line variation for italic-style handwriting and headings

Frequently asked questions

Is the Gaia pattern the same on every pen?

No. The resin is hand-made, so each Horizon Gaia has its own unique swirl.

Does the Horizon Gaia take cartridges?

No, it is a piston filler designed for bottled ink.

What colour is the trim?

The clip and trim are finished in green PVD, a hard-wearing coating.
