Precision and Design: Forbes on Otto Hutt
Proud of the brand’s success and exclusivity, we can announce that an interesting article about Otto Hutt has been published in the world-renowned business magazine Forbes. This article provides a closer look at the history, production and designs of the high-quality writing instruments.
Forbes considers the production of the Bauhaus-inspired writing instruments by the family-owned company from Pforzheim, the “Gold City” in the jewelry world, to be a combination of the craftsmanship of jewelry making with the art of writing instrument manufacturing. Special recognition is given to local production, which, including the electroplating, lacquering and polishing of all products, has been carried out in the company’s home on the edge of the Black Forest since 1920. The current collection includes the timeless design01 to design08 as well as the limited design C and is distributed in 20 countries. In addition, the designs enjoy high interest from fans as well as great feedback. According to Marco Frei, the CEO and owner, the writing instruments embody craftsmanship with modern technical sophistication. Both the design08 and design C were created with attention to detail in collaboration with star designer Mark Braun. Forbes considers the traditional finishing in a contemporary style, guilloché, to be perfection, especially in the linear form. In this, a sense of visual order is imparted, which in turn reveals exceptional precision. Combining Otto Hutt’s roots with modern style, the variety of designs offers a favorite piece for everyone. As an owner-operated family business, Otto Hutt serves the upper premium and luxury segments and sells writing instruments that users can be proud of.
Note: The Forbes magazine article inadvertently refers to a design09. There is a small mistake here, our current collection includes design01 to design08.
