OCEANA FOUNTAIN PEN SILVER

“Here beach your ship upon the shore of Oceanus, and go straight on to the dark abode of Hades…”
In the adventures of The Odyssey, Oceanus—the source of all waters—flows at the edge of the known world, connecting it to the unknown. The hero sails to the world’s end and descends into the underworld, where he listens to the voices of the dead. When Odysseus returns, he is no longer the man who first set out.
Inspired by this mythical sea
Oceana features a natural Australian abalone shell, carefully polished to reveal its shifting iridescence and overlaid with Laban’s signature silver-plated metal filigree, creating a design that is both intricate and resilient.
“Not everyone has a destiny: only the hero who has plunged to touch it, and has come up again—with a ring.”
—Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces
Campbell writes of the hero’s task as bringing two worlds together. The truths found within should not be lost to the realities of everyday life.
In the same spirit, Laban continues to explore new possibilities for writing instruments, believing that bridging our inner and outer worlds calls for something close at hand—a writing instrument to accompany each of us into the unknown, on a hero’s journey of our own.

CARE & MAINTENANCE
Do not sanitize your Laban pen with cleansing alcohols
After the covid-19 pandemic, people now use cleansing alcohol or another disinfectant spray to sanitize personal items more frequently. However, your beloved stationery is made with precious parts/materials, if it contacts with solvent/alcohol, the solvent may eat away at the material.
- The gold-plated surface may interact with solvent and loss shimmer or get rusty.
- The acrylic resin part may become weak and get tiny cracks easily.
Thus, we suggest you clean your pen with just water. Also, clean your hand with soap first before your daily writing, which is also a good sense of ritual for both you, and your luxury stationery.
* Ultraviolet sanitize lamps may also damage the acrylic part.
Please use/keep your Laban pen carefully
Do not let your sterling silver, silver-plated, or gold-plated pens contact any chemicals, or keep them in a moist environment for a long time. Please keep the pen in a pen bag or the gift box while carrying it to go out, to avoid surface damage from accidental impact or scratch.
Strongly suggest you store the pen separately with keys or sharp metal items.
How to fix the pen surface damages
If tarnishing occurs, you may use a silver polishing cloth to polish the pens, but it won’t make the pen revert to its original.
Can I purchase a replacement part?
Please contact us directly, and provide your warranty card, also pictures of your pen. We could have a spare replacement for it.
