LIVRARIA LELLO, LIONESA GROUP AND BIC CELEBRATE 90 YEARS OF ARCHITECT ÁLVARO SIZA WITH THE LAUNCH OF A LIMITED EDITION BALLPOINT PEN

Responding to a challenge from the Lionesa Group, on the 29th of June, Livraria Lello will launch, together with BIC, a limited edition of the BIC® Cristal® Re'NewTM ballpoint pen, the premium rechargeable version with a silver metallic body inspired by the BIC® Cristal® Original. Each ballpoint pen is engraved with a message and the signature of Álvaro Siza Vieira, the Portuguese architect who turned 90 on the 25th of June and has the highest distinction in architecture, the Pritzker Prize.

There will be 2023 copies of BIC® Cristal® Re'NewTM by Siza Vieira, in Portuguese and English versions, which will be available at the centenary Portuguese bookshop from June 30th, and which will be accompanied by a special box, which also celebrates the 90 architect years.

Álvaro Siza has always used BIC® Cristal® Original in black paint daily in his office. A ballpoint pen that inspired the BIC® Cristal® Re’NewTM version that he now signs.

The launch event will be private and will take place at Livraria Lello, at 20:00, on the 29th of June.
