Varius writing instruments: a geometric style emblematic of the Maison Caran d'Ache.

The writing instruments in the Varius collection set themselves apart by their architectural and refined details, based on the hexagonal shape that is emblematic of Caran d'Ache. This geometric structure brings modern and balanced aesthetics to the pens and mechanical pencils, creating a visual harmony and a unique sensation in your hand. The Varius collection comes in a wide range of technical and stylistic expressions, whether it is using natural and noble materials such as the Hinoki Cypress in the Varius Kengo Kuma limited edition collection, or dynamic and contemporary textures such as those in the Varius Ivanhoé range.

Innovation at the heart of Varius writing instruments

The fountain pens in the Varius collection are set with an 18-carat gold nib and most are available in six different widths (EF, F, M, B, OM, OB), allowing for a highly personalized writing experience. Whether you prefer a fine and delicate nib or a more expressive and daring one, Varius fountain pens offer exceptional flexibility.
The rollerball and ballpoint pens and mechanical pencils in the Varius collection complete this range of high-end writing instruments that offer unrivalled writing experiences and aesthetics.

All the Varius pens and writing instruments are designed and meticulously crafted in the Maison Caran d'Ache Geneva workshops. Our reputation for excellence and quality can be found in every detail of the manufacturing process of the Varius pens. Our highly qualified artisans work with passion and expertise to guarantee perfect and long-lasting finishes that are in harmony with the requirements of the Swiss Made label, symbol of authenticity and Swiss quality.

Exceptional limited-edition Varius pens available to engrave for unique gifts

Some of the Varius writing instruments have an engraving option for you to add initials, a date or a name on the pen's barrel. Pens and mechanical pencils come in a black Caran d'Ache case, conceived specially for the writing instruments from the Varius range.
The writing instruments from the Varius Trophy range are sold in a limited-edition calf leather pouch, itself presented in a Varius case that reflects the colors of the pen's barrel.
The Maison Caran d'Ache also offers limited-edition Varius pens:
- The iconic Varius Rainbow pen, with its 12 colorful triangles inspired from the color wheel, and available in fountain pen, ballpoint pen, and rollerball pen versions.
- The sumptuous Varius Trophy pen, and its tribute to the world of golf, available in fountain pen, ballpoint pen, and rollerball pen versions.
- The architectural Varius Kengo Kuma ballpoint pen with its Hinoki Cypress wood finish. For this edition, the Maison Caran d'Ache has created a made-to-measure wooden case, which subtly recalls the color of the pen's wood, and on which is engraved the signature of the Japanese architect, Kengo Kuma.
