Curtis Australia CORPORATE - Previous Commissions

Rio Tinto ‘Colours of Australia’

Curtis Australia were proud to have been invited to design and create a very special fountain pen to highlight the distinctive natural beauty of Champagne Diamonds. Champagne diamonds are found exclusively in Australia’s Kimberly region, and the diamond mine is the largest in the world, responsibly mined by Rio Tinto.

With a brief that stated simply that the pen should reflect the unique essence of Australia, we set to work with a palette of over 500 champagne diamonds and our imagination!

Presenting ‘Colours of Australia’. The unique design that evolved makes full use of the diamonds in a fluid, swirling design, evocative of Australian landscapes and indigenous art, while the rich sparkling hues of the champagne diamonds reflect the colourful Australian outback.

The pen featured in the Nomad - Two Worlds Exhibition. The exhibition presents Australian art based on a cause with profound international impact - the reconciliation of the Australian Government with its Indigenous citizens. Starting in New York, the collection of works will be exhibited in locations around the world.
