SPIRIT OF VOLCANO
Colors have always been a distinctive feature of Visconti’s collections.
COLOR SHADES
Mixing basaltic lava with coloured resin is a very complex process that makes this pen unique and sets the collection apart from other Homo Sapiens editions.
CRAFTSMANSHIP
Homo Sapiens Lava Color owes much of its uniqueness to a long and meticulous creation process. The processing of lava material is indeed very challenging and requires great precision.
INNOVATIVE TECHNIQUES
Lava Color pens require complex processing. To create new colors we mixed the lava material with the colored resin. An anti-stain treatment was then applied to prevent ink from depositing on the pen during the refilling phase.
The pen is made of a mixture of colored resin and Mount Etna basaltic lava, the Visconti’s well-known and highly valued material, made following our secret formula. This new edition also has an anti-stain treatment that protects the pen and prevents ink from depositing on the pen during the refilling phase.
ANTI-STAIN TREATMENT
Basaltic lava is very hygroscopic and it easily absorbs moisture. To prevent ink stains, the pen has been coated with a special anti-stain treatment.
CLOSING SYSTEM
Unlike the classic Homo Sapiens Lava collection, the Lava Color features a magnetic lock closing system which makes opening and closing it effortless.
MATERIALS AND CARE
The pen features a special anti-stain treatment. We recommend cleaning the pen with Visconti blotting paper every time you fill it, to make sure that any ink stains are properly removed from the section.

Visconti’s history began in Florence, Italy. A cradle of art and culture, Florence also known for being home to one of the Country’s largest industrial districts for luxury and fashion.
The company is the brainchild of Luigi Poli and Dante del Vecchio, two friends who met in Florence and decided to turn a common passion into business by founding Visconti on October 20, 1988.
On that date, luxury writing instruments began to make their way in a city that was strongly linked to jewellery, leather goods and any other form of art. Over time, Visconti products became iconic pieces that helped to spread Italian values worldwide: design and creativity, craftsmanship and innovation, quality and luxury.
