| The Visconti Homo Sapiens
collection features the
combination of ancient and
contemporary materials to
create an innovative series of
pens. Basaltic lava from Mt.
Etna in Sicily, Italy and
bronze are used along with
the name of Homo
Sapiens "to symbolize how
two uniquely human activities,
writing and metallurgy, form
the basis of all writing
instruments." You'll find
the Homo Sapiens pens to
have a dense, solid feel with
excellent balance. The lava
itself is virtually unbreakable,
flameproof, and slightly
hygroscopic, meaning that it
absorbs hand sweat during
use. |
