Tibaldi Bamboo Winter: a fountain pen inspired by winter mist
The Tibaldi Bamboo Winter is part of the exclusive Trio Project, a special project developed around Tibaldi's iconic Bamboo design and created to offer a distinctive new interpretation of this Italian fountain pen.
The Winter concept draws inspiration from A Hazy Shade of Winter, the song written by Paul Simon in 1966 and later popularised by The Bangles. The atmosphere of winter, mist and fading landscapes is translated into the fountain pen through a carefully selected combination of colours and resin.
A resin inspired by winter mist
The body of the Tibaldi Bamboo Winter is made from a combination of white and pearl resins, with small darkened areas adding depth and contrast to the finish. The result evokes the soft, diffused appearance of a misty winter landscape.
As with materials of this nature, the distribution of colours and subtle variations in the resin give each fountain pen its own visual character. Rather than being simply white, the finish combines different tones that reveal themselves differently depending on the light.
The Bamboo design, reinterpreted
For the Trio Project, Tibaldi takes its established Bamboo design and gives it a new aesthetic treatment. The characteristic hanging-chain decoration on the cap has been removed and replaced by a clip inspired by the one used on the Perfecta line.
The result retains the distinctive personality of the Bamboo design while creating a cleaner and more contemporary appearance. With its 15 mm diameter, the pen also has a balanced presence in the hand.
Stainless steel nib with an ebonite feeder
The Tibaldi Bamboo Winter is fitted with a stainless steel nib combined with an ebonite feeder. This combination is part of Tibaldi's approach to fountain pen construction and is designed to provide a reliable and consistent writing experience.
The nib is available in several widths to suit different writing preferences:
- EF — Extra Fine
- F — Fine
- M — Medium
- B — Broad
- BB — Double Broad
The nib measures 0.6 mm and is paired with an ebonite feeder.
Converter or cartridge filling
The Tibaldi Bamboo Winter offers two filling options: use the converter included with bottled fountain pen ink, or use ink cartridges for a quick and convenient filling method.
The converter provides greater freedom when choosing from the wide range of bottled inks available, while cartridges are particularly practical for everyday use and travelling.
A special edition for collectors
One of the defining characteristics of the Tibaldi Bamboo Winter is its special-edition status. It belongs to the Trio Project, a collection of three unique designs inspired by major musical hits from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.
The project was created as a special personalisation of the Bamboo design for the Spanish market. These models were conceived as special editions rather than standard catalogue versions.
The collection is limited and temporary, although not numbered. This gives the Bamboo Winter a distinctive place within the Tibaldi range and makes it particularly appealing to collectors looking for a less conventional Tibaldi design.
Made in Italy
The Bamboo Winter retains one of Tibaldi's defining characteristics: Italian production. The brand has a long tradition of creating writing instruments and combines Italian design, selected materials and a distinctive aesthetic.
Measuring 123 mm with the cap fitted, with a 15 mm diameter and a weight of 28 grams, the Bamboo Winter offers proportions designed to balance visual presence and everyday writing comfort.
