ATELIER CAPSULE
A collection that acts as a further testament to Montblanc’ s fine leather craftsmanship, the new Atelier capsule features a crocoembossed leather that adds a playful textural dimension to the season’ s burgundy-hued cassis shade. The capsule’ s design codes are influenced by Montblanc’ s rich writing heritage, particularly the recognizable shapes and details of the Meisterstück collection such as the nib-shaped handles.
The Atelier capsule gives its unexpected twist to classic Montblanc shapes such as the Business Organizer and the Document Case, while introducing three new designs: a vertical Tote suitable for daily errands or travel, a Mini Bag featuring a sleek elongated shape, and a Round Messenger, offering a slightly larger take on the messenger design with softer outlines.
Created in the season’ s cassis colour, the Atelier collection’ s pieces notably feature the captivating sfumato effect, for which Montblanc Artistic Director Marco Tomasetta found inspiration from a stained heritage ink bottle. This blurring effect softly transitions from darker colors at the bottom of each piece to lighter tones at the top, evoking the process of ink slowly diffusing into paper. As the effect is manually applied via airbrush on the finished leather product at the end of the production process, each sfumato piece carries its own slightly distinctive finish.
The Atelier capsule’ s small leather assortment adds touches of an orange-toned cayenna shade to the collection and can be seen on a selection of wallets and cardholders, in addition to the cassis colour.
