Improve Your Penmanship With Visconti’s Homo Sapiens Range of Luxury Pens
When it comes to communicating, most of us use phones or laptops. Texts, phone calls, and emails are the main way we stay in touch. But what about those times you need to sign a document or draft a handwritten letter? This calls for a sophisticated pen that can do the job while also catching the eye of those around you. What you need is one of Visconti’s luxury pens.
What Is Visconti?
Visconti is an Italian brand known the world over for its luxury pens. Constructed by master craftsmen using both traditional and modern methods, Visconti has become recognized for its quality workmanship and variety of materials made when creating its luxury pens. Along with making pens using traditional materials such as resin, stainless steel, titanium, carbon, and celluloid, they are the first company to use lava dust in the creation of their fountain pens.
The Italian company doesn’t only specialize in writing instruments, it also offers a selection of watches and leather accessories.
Why Are They So Revered?
What sets Visconti apart from other luxury pen brands is its dedication to the craft. The brand is on a “quest for beauty. The desire to make exclusive writing instruments has driven” the company to “steadily grow while consistently maintaining the highest quality standards of each individual handmade piece.”
The brand’s luxury pens are created using a wide range of techniques, including the Scrimshaw Technique (used to engrave the bodies and caps of fountain pens), the Maki-e Technique (a Japanese lacquering process that is similar to hand painting designs on pens), and the delicate Filigree Technique that weaves and applies different metal threads to the body of the pen. This painstakingly slow metalwork technique can take up to 30 hours to complete.
Based on their writing style and aesthetic tastes, customers can choose between three different types of writing instruments, fountain pens, rollerball pens, or ballpoint pens that are not just incredible to handle, but also beautiful works of art.
The Homo Sapiens Range
While every product manufactured by Visconti is breathtaking, the Homo Sapiens range has some of the brand’s most iconic pens. This collection of luxury pens was introduced over a decade ago and has steadily grown since.. These pens all have individual differences that make them stand out and add to the legacy of the Homo Sapiens range, Here are four of our favorite luxury pens from the collection.
Homo Sapiens Blue Lagoon
Available as a fountain pen or rollerball pen, the Homo Sapiens Blue Lagoon is inspired by the ocean and features light blue and aqua swirls. Just like the waves of the ocean, no two luxury pens are the same.
Homo Sapiens Lava Bronze
As the name suggests, this striking luxury pen is made using lava taken from the active volcano Mt. Etna on the island of Sicily. It is unbreakable, moisture absorbent, and velvety to the touch. The Homo Sapiens Lava Bronze is a sophisticated addition to the Visconti luxury pens collection that comes as a fountain pen, rollerball pen, and ballpoint pen.
Homo Sapiens Crystal Dream
Visconti’s Homo Sapiens Crystal Dream is another eye-catching luxury pen constructed using lava. The use of the Demonstrator Technique allows a look at the ink inside the pen and gives it a distinct difference from the Lava Bronze. This is a dynamic and elegant luxury pen for the modern man.
Homo Sapiens Tuscan Hills
Inspired by the rolling Tuscan hills, the aptly named Homo Sapiens Tuscan Hills gives you a taste of Italian life in pen form. Capturing the lush green and brown colors of the Tuscan landscape, this is one of the top picks when it comes to Visconti’s luxury pens.
The Only Pen You Need
Whether you are a businessman stuck in the office all day, a freelancer always on the move, or someone who likes to keep a journal, Visconti has the perfect luxury pen to match your style. If you only have one luxury pen in your collection, make it a Visconti.
