Stone Marketing has added the Japanese stationery brand Anterique to its portfolio, bringing a range of slim, vintage-inspired pens to its offering.
Anterique was founded in Tokyo in 2019 and combines mid-century design influences with Japanese manufacturing. Its pens feature muted colours, clean lines and subtle detailing, and they use an oil-blended ink that is designed to deliver a smooth writing experience.
A name built on "antique" and "technique"
The brand's name mixes the words "antique" and "technique". According to Stone Marketing, that combination sums up the product neatly: a classic, slim pen that is available in a wide range of colours.
