With the new Homo Sapiens Dark Sapphire and Dark Emerald collection, Visconti explores the tension between darkness and light, between the depth of matter and the brilliance - at times hidden — of precious stones.
The Dark Sapphire and Dark Emerald are the result of meticulous aesthetic and material
research, born from the harmonious fusion of resins and pigments that blend into soft, irregular veins, illuminated by a metallic finish that evokes the natural gleam of the rarest gemstones.
The contrast between black and the shades of blue or green creates a dynamic perception of the material, as if light itself were flowing within it.
The deep blue of the resin, traced by veins of profound black, evokes the enigmatic allure of sapphire, a gem symbolizing clarity of mind and inner wisdom.
Dark Sapphire is the pen for those who write to find themselves again, for those who see reflection as the highest form of intelligence.
Likewise, the rich green holds the very essence of the emerald, a stone tied to rebirth and vital energy.
Dark Emerald is the pen for those who write to be renewed, for those who feel writing as an instinctive, natural and essential act.
Every element has been designed to enhance the chromatic depth and purity of the design.
The Homo Sapiens Dark Sapphire, plated in palladium, reflects the refined coolness of lunar metal; the Dark Emerald, enriched with a yellow gold plating, radiates a warm, vital energy.
The enameled clip, matched in color, completes the visual harmony.
Both models are fitted with Visconti's precious 18kt gold nib, a symbol of Italian craftsmanship excellence and a guarantee of a fluid, precise, and harmonious writing experience.
"When we pass through the darkness, we discover the strength of our own light."
Albert Camus
