The Northern Coal Aluminium Pen by AJOTO is part of a collection inspired by their home city of Manchester, the worlds first industrialized city. Each pen is carved from a solid bar of hi-grade aluminium and is bead-blasted by hand before being anodized black. This textured, anodized finish hardens the skin of the pen, making it resistant to everyday scratches and wear-and-tear.
AJOTO spent years crafting the form of the pen, resulting in a slender teardrop taper that extends along its length, cleverly distributing the weight. This detail ensures that no matter which material it's made from, the pen will feel effortless and perfectly balanced in your hand.
The Northern Coal Aluminium pen features a 0,7 mm liquid ink rollerball refill — available at Misc Store Amsterdam in black and blue.

AJOTO x Misc Store Amsterdam
AJOTO pens have weight in your hand — the front-loaded barrel glides forward, pulling ink and hand across the page. This is typical for AJOTO’s designers, Chris Holden and Tim Higgins: they design products finely tooled for human usage, that fit like a key into the writer’s life.
Misc Store first met Holden in 2015, and quickly fell for the craftsmanship and attention to provenance at AJOTO. It’s unusual to come across pen designers with such a modern attitude to design, and the values that Chris and Tim had in mind when they designed the AJOTO range – simplicity, longevity, elegance – reflect Misc Store’s own.

Made from materials sourced entirely within the EU – Greek brass, Portuguese cork, Belgian aluminium – AJOTO creates their products with the help of a selection of English manufacturers. There are the leather workers in Leicestershire, the anodizers in Wycombe, the metal platers in Watford (the world’s finest, they promise). Their card stock is sourced from legendary Hull paper merchants G.F. Smith.
Working with local suppliers helps to ensure a sustainable, ethical and high-quality product with a low carbon footprint. It gives their products the weight of place: a rarity in today’s world.
