In collaboration with Nespresso, Caran d’Ache presents a new 849 limited edition ballpoint pen made with aluminum from recycled Nespresso coffee pod capsules. This eco-conscious writing instrument represents the common values of the two iconic Swiss companies, namely: sustainable development, innovation, and Swiss design quality.

The iconic hexagonal profile of this lightweight yet durable aluminum body has a bright purple appearance thanks to a process of micro beading blasting and electrostatic treatment. As with the other Nespresso limited editions, the Arpeggio is engraved with the phrase, 'Made with recycled Nespresso Capsules" on the back of the pen body. The writing experience is exceptionally smooth thanks to the Goliath 849 ballpoint cartridge. The pen is packaged in an environmentally-friendly box made from 100% recycled and recyclable cardboard.

The 849 Caran d’Ache + Nespresso Special Edition, an icon with a monochrome, metallic look, is born of the success of our previous collaborations with Nespresso. This 6th edition is driven by a shared vision of a world in which design, sustainability and color come together to create unique, responsible products.

Made from the aluminum of recycled Nespresso capsules, the 849 Caran d’Ache + Nespresso ballpoint pen draws inspiration from the world of the Kazaar capsule. The midnight blue of the pen’s body, clip and button highlights Caran d’Ache’s color expertise. This universal color transcends generations and preferences, becoming an essential reference point. The body of the pen, made of recycled aluminum, is engraved with the phrase “A recycling story is in your hands” – a reminder that every action matters and that everyone can write their own story.

This 849 Caran d’Ache + Nespresso Special Edition is so much more than a simple writing instrument; it is the very story of recycling. An exceptional collaboration between two Swiss companies, once again bearing witness to their commitment to eco-design and sustainable development. By adopting this instrument, become a part of this commitment.
