Nagmoi Woodworking was founded in 2025 and we are excited to attend our first pen show at the CA Pen Show! Based right here in California, we create heirloom-quality, handcrafted fountain pen accessories with a focus on exceptional and carefully selected woods. Fountain pen enthusiasts invest time, intention, and care into building their collections. We believe the pieces that hold and display those pens should reflect that same level of thoughtfulness. Our trays, rests, and storage pieces are designed to complement your collection as well as stand on their own as objects of beauty.

We look forward to the chance to meet our supporters and new friends at the CA Pen Show!!

OMAS and Gianluca Malaguti-Simoni is coming to the California Pen Show.

From February 19–22, 2026, the Torrance Marriott Redondo Beach becomes a four-day crossroads for the people who still believe a pen can be more than an object—something you choose, live with, and pass on.

If you’ve been following the story of OMAS the Paragon: 150625, this is the moment to make it real: stop by, pick it up, and put it to paper at the show. No photos. No speculation. Just the feeling.

📍 Torrance Marriott Redondo Beach (3635 Fashion Way, Torrance, CA 90503)
🗓 Feb 19–22, 2026

See you in Los Angeles
