Medici Over Fountain pen - 18kt Gold nib - Rose Gold - Visconti

MEDICI COLLECTION

The Medici collection is dedicated to one of the most important and powerful Italian dynasties that led the Florentine golden age. The pen’s shape was designed following the principles of the golden ratio. Its material, a combination of resin and silk fibre, is reminiscent of the exquisite Florentine stone mosaics visitors can admire in most Medici villas.

THE MEDICIS AND FLORENCE

The history of Florence and the Medici are entwined, one cannot exist without the other. It is almost impossible to wander around the city without finding a symbol of the great dynasty that ruled Florence throughout the entire Renaissance.

THE BAPTISTRY AND THE LILY

The Medici pen has eight facets just like the Florence baptistery whilst the chiseled lily on the metal band has been a symbol of the Tuscan capital for over two millennia.

MATERIALS

The combination of precious resin and silk fiber give the Medici pens a glossy and elegant effect.

THE GOLDEN RATIO

The Golden Ratio was used to design the relationship between the length of the pen and the cap. This mathematical proportion, often used in nature, symbolises the ideal of perfection and harmony. The pen’s 8 facets give extra luminosity and a pleasant tactile sensation. The relationship between the barrel and cap sizes follow the golden ratio.

FLORENTINE MOSAICS

The Medici fountain pen’s colours recall the exquisite Florentine mosaics one can find in many Medici villas.
