Montblanc, renowned for its timeless writing instruments, partnered with AKQA to create its first luxury e-writing device, blending heritage craftsmanship with advanced technology.
Over the course of two years, AKQA collaborated with Montblanc on every stage of development, including shaping the initial vision and market positioning, designing the user experience, building the digital identity and design system, refining haptics, and supporting industrial design alongside Montblanc’s writing experts in Hamburg.
Digital Paper represents a fusion of heritage and innovation. From day one, AKQA delivered craft and value beyond the initial brief. Their expertise in design, market opportunity, and product development made them true partners throughout the journey. Together, we’ve created a device that embodies Montblanc’s dedication to timeless quality, while introducing an entirely new experience for our customers. — Dr. Felix Obschonka, Director of New Technologies, Montblanc
