Visconti Homo Sapiens Carbon Moiré Pen Collection
As you may know, I’m a huge fan of carbon fiber. I just love the way it looks and feels. When I saw this new Visconti Homo Sapiens Carbon Moiré Pen Collection, I knew it had to be shared. Visconti is thrilled to announce the launch of their latest unique limited edition in the famous Homo Sapiens collection. The Homo Sapiens Carbon Moiré is the result of years of complex experimentation, aimed at creating a collection that combines cutting edge technique with an inimitable aesthetic.
First of all, the Visconti Homo Sapiens Carbon Moiré Pen Collection features the implementation of forged carbon: a composite material of recent conception, made by combining carbon fiber fragments and resin. Therefore, forged carbon has layers of gold leaf inlay woven through the material, complemented by titanium trim. Similarly, this characteristic gives the barrel an organic appearance, with the fibers taking on an irregular and dynamic pattern. In addition, the golden hue creates unique reflections. For instance, the material appears three-dimensional, almost holographic, much like the refined moiré fabrics that lend the pen its name.
Above all, this incredible new offering is limited to 226 pieces, in tribute to the atomic numbers of the key chemical elements that give the pen its extraordinary lightness: Titanium (22) and Carbon (6).
Notably, the fountain pen version of the Homo Sapiens Carbon Moiré is equipped with their iconic Power Filler Double Reservoir system. The central ring features a section in clear acrylic resin, allowing the ink level to be seen even when the pen is closed.
The cap is equipped with an improved magnetic closure system. Therefore, this ensures an even more secure and solid seal. Completing the fountain pen is their 18kt yellow gold Visconti nib. To protect the metal components, a very thin layer of transparent nano-ceramic coating is applied. In addition, this stabilizes the color over time and preserves the titanium from potential micro-scratches.
