The circles, spirals, triangles and lines that shine through the translucent dark blue lacquer of the writing instrument come from his famous painting “The Kiss,” in which two lovers seem to dissolve into ornamental and geometric shapes through the power of emotion . Crafted from translucent blue lacquer and yellow gold-finish hammered metal , the cap and body of the writing instrument perfectly match complementary colors in reference to Gustav Klimt 's celebrated "golden age" works, including the "Portrait of Adele Bloch." Bauer I”, the Frieze of Palazzo Stoclet and “The Kiss”. Klimt used a new technique which consisted of enriching his colors with sections of gold leaf, thus creating the impression of precious stones set in gold. In the Limited Edition 4810, the hammered yellow gold finish cone is embellished with a green synthetic spinel, a color that evokes spring, the season of new beginnings. Klimt's “Secession” monogram, a golden stamp of his initials - GK - refers to the artist's achievements within the Secession.
The clip of the Homage to Gustav Klimt 4810 Limited Edition was specially created based on inspiration from Gustav Klimt's "Pallas Athena". Athena is the goddess of war and art, and is portrayed in the act of launching the fight for artistic freedom. The delicately curved lines that end in three spirals on the yellow gold-plated clip match the decorations on the forged metal frame.
