Drehgriffel Nr. 1 - Limited Edition Luminous
A bold, vibrant, and powerful homage to the Pop Art movement. Leuchtturm1917 and Bethge celebrate the power of color and a passion for exceptional design.
Each Drehgriffel a design object
The limited Luminous Edition of the iconic Drehgriffel Nr. 1 is inspired by the world of Pop Art and unites Leuchtturm1917’s precise design with Bethge’s daring creativity and rich spectrum of colors. Echoing icons such as Warhol and Lichtenstein, each pen is a modern statement of expressiveness, individuality, and creative freedom.
Available in four neon colors with black accents. Each Drehgriffel in this Limited Edition Luminous is more than just a writing instrument – it is a design object that unites craftsmanship, quality, and artistic inspiration.
Mix & Match with matching pen loops
Complementing each Drehgriffel Nr. 1 of the limited Luminous Edition, a color-coordinated pen loop is available in four vibrant neon shades. The popular pen holder can be easily attached to any notebook – keeping your Drehgriffel always within reach.
Bethge Postcard Set: Luminous Art Edition
Complementing the Luminous Edition, an exclusive postcard set by Bethge is being released. Eight motifs by artist Hubertus von Alvensleben – handprinted in silk screen technique – are inspired by the cult song “Everybody’s Free (to wear sunscreen)”. With words such as enjoy, dance, sing, relax, call, remember, play, try, the cards are powerful, color-intense statements – perfect for gifting, inspiring, or as a radiant eye-catcher.
Bethge – Craftsmanship, Color, and Character
Since the 1970s, Bethge has stood for a distinctive signature style: bold, colorful, and deeply rooted in the inspiring diversity of Hamburg. Between the Elbe suburbs and the harbor, the Schanze and St. Pauli, an aesthetic emerges that unites contrasts – elegant and raw, classic and avant-garde at the same time. This creative tension shapes every product that leaves Bethge’s own screen-printing workshop and carefully selected manufactories.
Bethge is more than a brand – it is a commitment to individuality and expression. Every piece is a unique creation with character, defined by precise craftsmanship, vibrant colors, and a refined sense for the extraordinary. Whether hand-printed greeting cards, fine leather accessories, or exquisite stationery – Bethge creates things that make life more beautiful, personal, and inspiring.
In the Bethge stores in Hamburg, Munich, Düsseldorf, and Frankfurt, as well as in the online shop, this special world of color and form unfolds: a curated selection of exceptional paper and writing culture, created for people who seek the extraordinary and wish to express their personality.
