Platinum-finish Ecridor Keith Haring ballpoint pen with case - Caran d'Ache

The platinum-plated Ecridor ballpoint pen by Swiss brand Caran d'Ache from the limited Keith Haring collection.

The Ecridor ballpoint pen is a true gem that shines in the hand. It features a hexagonal platinum-plated barrel and a distinctive guilloche pattern that makes it shine beautifully. The pen comes with a calfskin leather case in black. The pen has a push-button nib ejection mechanism. The button features the brand's laser-engraved logo. The black-colored Goliath M ballpoint pen refill will write as much as 600 A4 pages. The whole thing is housed in an extremely elegant metal box.

Keith Haring was not only an influential artist inspired by New York, but also an activist, fighting against the prejudice, ignorance and hypocrisy of American society.

The young Haring saturated his imagination with cartoons by Charles M. Schulz, Disney and Dr. Seuss. He redrew Mickey Mouse, Proto Cat and characters from "Fistas". However, with the encouragement of his amateur engineer-drawer father, he tried to create his own characters and forge his own style. From a paperboy he longed to become a cartoonist. Keith Haring penetrated the underground world of the metropolis. He succumbed to the fascination of New York, which he made the canvas for his art.
