The 23 ct 950 Palladium Dreamtouch nib is not the only evolutionary feature of this innovative fountain pen.  The Homo Sapien by Visconti is made of lava from the Etna volcano transformed into a nearly indestructible high-tech hybrid material that is beautiful and very tactile.  The patented double-reservoir power filling system is another equally advanced feature to grace this fountain pen.  And, if that is not enough, the bronze accents, symbolic of man’s evolution and potential, is more environmentally safe.  It does not need to be plated, so no hazardous chemicals are put into the environment.

There is a sense of something significant in this fountain pen’s character, the Homo Sapien is a pen for writers who value refinement and the innovation of Visconti.

At this time, for further information about our Visconti collection, including the Homo Sapien, or any of our fine writing instruments contact us at info@papierplume.com or call us at 504.988.7265.

What once started in a backyard garage in 1945 has grown to become a company with a worldwide reputation for excellent hand-made pens.  And, despite their success, is still a “family business”.  All production takes place at their plant and skills are still passed on from one generation to the next.

So, is it a masterpiece of craft or is it an art?  If you can’t provide a definite answer to this question, then you must know it as Cleo Skribent of Germany.  Visit us on Royal Street to see the Platinum, Linea.Arte, Cleo Colour and Classic series of Cleo Skribent’s fine writing instruments.
