The Kaweco story first began in 1883, in a small retail store near the University of Heidelberg, Germany. Since then, Kaweco has had an inseparable connection to students, and in the 1960s you would have been hard-pushed to find a German student who didn't own a Kaweco pen!
The current Kaweco STUDENT series is based on a 1920s design and aims to deliver high quality, classic writing instruments at an attractive price for pupils and students.
The 1950s were marked by reconstruction after the Second World War. It was a period of new prosperity and cultural flourishing. The Student 50's Rock in blue and cream, combined with warm golden decorative elements, draws on a nostalgic view of the era through post-war optimism, teenage freedoms and '50s rock music roots.
