In our workshop, we have always believed that if we stayed true to our principles—machining solid metals, obsessing over balance, and refusing to cut corners—the world would take notice. Today, we are thrilled to announce that our dedication to American manufacturing has been recognized across the Atlantic.
The Luxury Gold RollerBall Pen - Fanstik Excelltus Line has been honored at the London Design Awards in the "Product Design - Luxury" category.
This victory serves as a powerful confirmation: The "Made in USA" stamp on a FANSTIK instrument is not just a mark of origin; it is a mark of world-class prestige.
Key Takeaways: The London Verdict
The International Win: FANSTIK has been honored by the London Design Awards, a program that celebrates exceptional design and creativity on a global scale.
The Category: We secured victory in "Product Design - Luxury," affirming that our instruments are seen as high-end lifestyle accessories, not just office supplies.
Material Mastery: The judges cited our intricate blend of chrome, titanium, gold, and silver as a defining factor in the pen's excellence.
The "Double Crown": This international accolade follows closely on our recent Silver Award at the NY Product Design Awards, proving our quality is consistent across borders.
The Experience: The line was celebrated for its "smooth, refined writing" and for elevating the art of writing to its finest form.
Crossing the Pond: Why London Chose American Craft
London has long been a center of heritage, tradition, and discerning taste. To have our Luxury Gold Rollerball recognized in such a city is a testament to the timeless design we strive for in our American workshop.
The London Design Awards brief describes the winning collection as "a luxury collection of precision-crafted pens designed for smooth, refined writing." This aligns perfectly with our mission. We don't build pens for mere utility; we build them for the feel.
A Symphony of Materials: Titanium, Gold, and Enamel
What set this rollerball apart in the eyes of the international judges? It was the ambitious combination of materials. We don't just use steel; we engineer with a palette of chrome, titanium, gold, and silver.
Titanium & Chrome: Provide the structural integrity and modern resilience.
24k Gold Plating: Offers the warmth and traditional status of a legacy instrument.
Oven-Baked Enamel: The judges specifically noted our "black or blue oven-baked enamel" finishes. This process creates a deep, lustrous, and incredibly durable coating that feels like porcelain to the touch but wears like iron.

A Streak of Global Authority
This recognition does not stand alone. It builds upon a foundation of recent success. Just weeks ago, we announced that our Lux Gold Ballpoint took home the Silver Award at the NY Product Design Awards.
To win in New York for functionality and in London for luxury creates a complete picture of who we are:
The NY Win validated our engineering and reliability.
The London Win validates our artistry and elegance.
This "Double Crown" confirms that whether you prioritize the workhorse reliability of a ballpoint or the fluid luxury of a rollerball, FANSTIK is crafting the best instruments in the world, right here in the USA.
