In 1972, a journalist at France-Soir had the idea of using a yellow smiley face to tag the day’s good-news stories. The practice caught on. Fifty years later, Smiley® is an icon and a global byword for positivity.
Limited edition.
Half a century after its first appearance in print, the world’s most iconic smile returns to writing — now reimagined through Italian design and craftsmanship. The Smiley® Heritage Collection celebrates optimism with bold shapes, radiant colours, and golden detailing that radiate pure joy.
Each piece is built on the confidence of the ZERO silhouette, with a solid brass body and precise golden lines finished to perfection. The warmth of enamel meets the energy of pop-inspired tones, capturing the feeling of happiness in motion.
Three distinctive editions — The 1972, The Sourire, and The Original — each tell a different story of cheer and creativity. Every pen is hand-enamelled, giving life to vivid hues and subtle variations that reveal the touch of true artisanship.
Available as fountain pen, rollerball, and ballpoint, each version is limited to 365 numbered pieces. Complementary special-edition inks and a 14K gold nib invite you to rediscover the simple pleasure of writing — with a smile.
