	The Lamy persona fountain pen was designed by Mario Bellini, and Italian architect. At the time it was Lamy’s most expensive fountain pen. The pen was made using Titanium, Carbon Makrolon and Platinum providing four different options. Key features of the Persona included a concealed spring loaded pocket clip, an anti roll pin on the pocket clip and a 14 carat gold nib.<ref>{{cite web\|url=https://www.vintageandmodernpens.co.uk/shop/lamy-persona-fountain-pen-designed-by-mario-bellini-makrolon-and-titanium-coated-finish-14kt-gold-oblique-broad-nib-1990/\|title=Lamy Persona Fountain Pen\|access-date=07 July 2021}}</ref>		The Lamy persona fountain pen was designed by Mario Bellini, and Italian architect.

			===Lamy Spirit (1994 - 2010s) ===
			The Spirit was designed by [[Wolfgang Fabian]] and introduced in 1994, has its grip and clip made up (by simple rolling and folding) from a single stamping of stainless steel sheet. The result is a minimalist design with a 6mm diameter. Into this superstructure is inserted either ballpoint or 0.5mm pencil mechanism. The ballpoint uses the smaller M21 refill found in Lamy's multi-way ballpoints. <ref>{{cite web\|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180121004534/http://www.rickconner.net/penspotters/lamy.html\|title=Archived version of rickconner.net\|access-date=07 July 2021}}</ref>
