Once Upon a Design

Forging ahead on our mission to help the world Fall in Love with Writing Again, we’ve created two brand new writing instruments that capture your most magical memories of the midway. The design of the Carousel and Roundabout pens draw inspiration from this nostalgic carnival ride, where the dreams of going round and round and round, like our creativity, never ends.

Sharing the same body and silhouette, The Carousel fountain pen and Roundabout rollerball pen are launching in 6 gorgeous colours. Each pen comes equipped with its own ink converter, ready to be filled and refilled all over again with your favourite Ferris Wheel Press Ink.

Notable design motifs:

  • Unique 12-sided bollard cap inspired by memories of the merry-go-round and complete with lovely debossed typography

  • Hexagonal grip section drawing from the nuts and bolts of Ferris Wheel Press’ history in printmaking

  • All new galloping horse nib design, which parallels the playful writing qualities of this pen.

  • Circular wordmark debossed into the scalloped base of the body

Care Instructions

Filling/Changing Ink Colours:

  • Unscrew to remove the barrel from the grip section and access the converter.
  • Place the fountain pen nib fully into warm water. Flush the nib by twisting/untwisting the converter until the water runs clear.
  • Allow 1 day to dry.
  • Fill a new colour by fully submerging the nib and feeder into the ink, then draw the ink into your pen by twisting the converter until you’ve reached the top position.

Notes:

  • For heavily saturated inks and darker tones, or clogged nibs, you may need to soak the grip/feeder in water overnight
  • It is normal for some air bubbles to enter the converter when refilling ink

Doesn't write. Bad flow. Very cheaply made. Customer service is basically non-existent.

The order was easy & delivery quick. The pen is as described and I love the nib. Not much of a fan of the properly plastic feel, when holding it. I prefer a little weight in my pens if they have a thicker shaft, which this one does. Nothing wrong with the pen, just my preference.

My son loves light weight fountain pen with smooth nib. Although he had a Kaweco already, after trying my my carousel, he immediately asking to have it. And he promised that he will practice his hand writing and show me some neat and tidy homework.

How can I resist? So I bought him his own carousel.

He kept his promise. He keeps showing me his neat and tidy hand writing and keeps asking me to refill his pen with different color of ink

The pen itself writes very well, very lightweight and smooth. The barrel did crack after a month, however, the costumer service was very prompt to replace it for me.

I wasn’t expecting a stellar experience with this pen, simply because of what I’d consider it’s entry-/mid-level price. However, the nib is very smooth, and I’m delighted with the construction and the colour! This is an excellent fountain pen!

I love this brand but I haven't had the best experience with the fountain pens. I bought 4 in total, 2 Carousel (1M1F), 2 Brush Pens (1M1F). One Brush Pen arrived defective, and this Teal Carousel pen with medium nib's plastic barrel cracked after 3 weeks of casual use (the other one is fine and I used that more).

The build quality on these pens seems like a hit and miss. I will give credit to the customer support as they were very kind to replace the pen (the whole pen for Carousel and parts for the Brush Pen), but at these price points, I don't believe I should be reaching out for replacements to begin with.

The teal color is beautiful and the pen itself does write smoothly. The charger has a little ball inside to shake up the shimmer, which I think it's a nice touch.

In the end, I want to love the pen, but the experience just hasn't been the best, which is unfortunate.
