Visconti is thrilled to announce the next launch of their latest Homo Sapiens collection featuring Jonathon Brooks' industry famous hand-mixed resin: the Homo Sapiens Earth Origins. Two pens inspired by the elements that make up our planet, fire and air, each limited to 388 pieces worldwide.
The four elements come together in this collection to remind us of the origins of our planet. Earth, wind, fire, and water interacting to form the materials of our existence. Inspired by the mythical and primordial forces that shaped our planet and ignited the very spark of human existence, this collection embodies the essence of timeless energy and boundless inspiration.
Windy grey hues and dark blue tones interweave with a vibrant iridescent teal bringing life to the "Air" edition. These natural resins are mixed and swirled creating images of a hazy, stormy sky. Each pen is accented by silver trim to compliment the cool resin tones. The clip is filled with a bright, iridescent teal - an element that ties back to the Earth and Water editions of the Earth Origins collection.
The Homo Sapiens features a vacuum filling system that is easy to use and has considerable benefits. Patented in 1998, this is arguably the most advanced filling system ever developed in fountain pen history. The user is able to fill the pen with the equivalent of 10 cartridges of ink, and thanks to the two reservoirs, prevents ink from leaking during air travel. This revolutionary closing system is very satisfying to operate and was created to lock the pen body into the cap to prevent the possibility of the pen accidentally unscrewing and leaking inside a pocket or bag.
It comes with Visconti's 18kt gold in-house nib hand-crafted and manufactured in Florence, Italy. Available in EF, F, M, and B.
The “Fire” edition combines intense deep purple hues with swirls of fiery reds and oranges creating a uniquely intense mix depicting the dance of a blazing fire at night. This incredible combination of resin is complemented by black PVD trims. The clip is filled with a bright, iridescent red to compliment the fierce tones of this element.

The latest additions to the collection are inspired by the elements of fire and air. The Fire edition exhibits bright hues of red, orange, and black inspired by the evocative sparks of fire on a dark night accented by black PVD trims.
