The Call Of The Wild - WILD: BAOBAB Limited Solidarity Edition

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Life can change in an instant. Uri and Helle Løvevild Golman were living out a dream when a moment of madness changed everything. Now #montegrappa is helping the National Geographic Explorers and Photographers turn their life's work into a force for change. 
 
In December 2017, Uri and Helle Løvevild Golman were in a crowded market in Gabon, when a knife attack brought Uri to within an inch of his life. Saved by the love and quick action of Helle, Uri's road to recovery has been long and arduous. His journey is not yet over, but the couple are determined to double down on their mission, and return to the wild. Over many years, Uri and Helle have forged a reputation for searching the world's most remote locations and its most elusive wildlife. Now, with the creation of the WILD Nature Foundation, their work will be a catalyst for conservation action, as well as awareness. Specific initiatives are planned on three continents, and a special project is under way to inspire world leaders to rewrite the planet's future.
 
Montegrappa is proud to partner with the WILD Nature Foundation. While Uri's rehabilitation continues, the collaboration on a special new pen represents a pronouncement of solidarity and strength. The WILD: Baobab celebrates nature's untamed beauty, and the passion that has made it the central force within Uri and Helle's lives. 

With a lightly bulbous form and organic texture, the inspiration for the WILD: Baobab is easily discerned. These pillars of the African plains are known to store up to 120,000 litres of water in their trunks – monuments to survival in the wild. Montegrappite artisanal resin possesses the durability and subtlety to mimic their appearance, with an environmental footprint superior to conventional acrylics. 

  • Generous, organic form
  • Montegrappite body
  • Die-cast feather clip
  • Fountain Pen (18K gold nib), Rollerball, Ballpoint
  • 999-piece Solidarity Edition
  • Exclusive photographic postcard

But its most striking aspect is a pocket-clip modelled on a real wing feather from the Snowy Owl. A tattoo on Uri's forearm honours the Arctic bird of prey, and a gift that began his long, adventure-filled romance with Helle. It is among the most delicate and intimate motifs ever to grace a #montegrappa writing instrument. 

An engraved WILD Explorer expedition badge on the cap top bears the mantra "What you love ⋅ You will protect" – a sentiment that resonates in these unusual times. An exclusive set of postcards features wildlife photographed on seven continents and reflections from Uri and Helle's travels.
 
The WILD: Baobab is a reminder to give generously to our passions and to preserve love as a first defence against the fragility of life.
