Visconti Homo Sapiens Lava ballpoint pen

The pens are made from a material as old as the world around us, lava from the Etna volcano. Lava has never before been used for the production of writing instruments. Visconti has successfully developed a material consisting of more than 50% basaltic lava, combined with acrylic resin in a patented formula. The extraordinary properties of lava make it exceptionally suitable for a writing instrument for daily use.

The characteristics of the Visconti lava pens are:
- Practically unbreakable due to the enormous 'resilience'.
- Scratch-resistant.
- Heat resistant, tested up to over 100 degrees Celsius. The pens can easily be left on the dashboard of a car in the sun.
- Hygroscopic, the sweat from the hand is easily absorbed
- Soft, the material feels soft, almost rubbery.
- New, this material has never been used before for a writing instrument.

For the metal parts, Visconti was inspired by the Bronze Age. The clip, the decorative rings, and all metal components are made of bronze (except for the ‘power filler’, which is made of titanium). The bronze, a mix of copper and tin, is blended in the Homo Sapiens in the antique way, so the material requires no protection, is almost pink in color, and can be easily polished (a special polishing cloth is included in the packaging).

You can personalize your Visconti pen with Visconti's "My Pen System." The Visconti logo on top of the cap can be easily removed with a small magnet. Instead of this logo, two initials can be placed. You canherefind in our webshop.
