Behold: a new finish for the popular Homo Sapiens collection. Bronze trims have been replaced with stainless marine steel trim, a great counterpoint to the volcanic lava (from Mt. Etna in Siciliy) that is the primary material for this pen. Steel has, of course, played an important role in mankind’s economic evolution. Aesthetically, it invokes a modernity that perfectly counterbalances the ancient feel of volcanic rock.
That lava, besides being a completely unique material, lends the Homo Sapiens pens some great characteristics. They are:
- Virtually unbreakable
- Flame-proof
- Slightly hygroscopic, so they absorb hand sweat during use
- Dense to the touch, making them comfortable to grip and relaxing to write with
- All products from Visconti
