The LAMY company was founded in 1930 by C Josef Lamy and became established as a brand in 1952 with introduction of the LAMY 27 fountain pen. Their first ball point was introduced in 1964. The launch of the LAMY 2000 in 1966 was a result of a collaboration between Dr Manford Lamy and ex-Braun designer Gerd A. Müller and was based on the Bauhaus principle of “form follows function”. This laid the foundation for the clear design language which still forms the basis for all LAMY writing instruments.
