GBK and Pilot Pen hosted a Luxury Gift Lounge Honoring the Nominees and Presenters of the 2015 Golden Globe® Awards

Pilot Pen commemorated the 72nd annual Golden Globes Awards through a celebration of artistic excellence and self-expression. At the lounge, celebrities were introduced to the Japanese origami tradition, which states that if you fold 1000 origami cranes, a wish will be granted.  Their exhibit encompassed 1000 origami cranes and attendees were invited to write a wish for their charity of choice while sharing it on social media using #pilotwish. Pilot is making a $5000 donation to the individual whose charity receives the most shares, retweets, or regrams.  Currently, Jamie Camil, Director of nominated show ‘Jane the Virgin,’ is in the lead with 706 social interactions for his charity, Casa de la Amistad.  All guests also received the Vanishing Point Fountain Pen, the world’s first and favorite retractable fountain pen, and FriXion Clicker Erasable Gel Ink Pen 8 Pack Pouch, an entirely new kind of erasable pen that is retractable, has striking good looks and ink that is formulated to write smooth and erase cleanly.
