The Architectural Masterpieces Pen puts all other pens to shame. This pen from S.T. Dupont and jewelry artist Philippe Tournaire is inspired by [world-famous architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trevi-fountain-model), and it shows.

The Architectural Masterpieces Pen looks like it takes its design from [Saint Basil](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-laurent-rive-droite)’s Cathedral in Russia. The pen itself is based off of the iconic Olympio [fountain pen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maze) from S.T. Dupont. A writing utensil has never looked so good.

**Implications** - Personally, I'd love to own any one of these incredible pens but I have an incredible talent for losing pens of all shapes, prices, and sizes. I don't think I deserve the honor of holding such a fine piece of work, but maybe you do. Enjoy the fruits of Tournaire and Dupont's labor.
