Retro 51 - Tornado Smithsonian | Roller - Corona SWBT

The Retro 51 Tornado Smithsonian Corona rollerball pen celebrates African-American heritage with its striking design inspired by the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C. More than a writing instrument, it pays tribute to the craftsmanship and spirit of the African-American community.

The pen features a deeply engraved bronze metallic design, echoing the museum’s ornate facade, and is crafted by renowned designer David Adjaye. It honors the ironwork of enslaved African Americans from regions like Louisiana and South Carolina. Each pen is uniquely numbered and finished with matte black nickel, reflecting resilience and creativity.

Presented in a commemorative tube with the NMAAHC logo, this pen is a collectible that respects and celebrates African-American history. It’s not just a pen but a meaningful investment in art and education, reaffirming our connection to cultural heritage.
