Visconti – The Writing Renaissance

Saying “writing instruments” is just like saying Visconti. For the past 20 years Visconti is a synonym for writing instruments of extraordinary beauty - historically and technologically studied.


The Italian manufacturer produces fountain pens, roller pens and ball point from its 15th century villa in Florence. The pens are crafted with ancient knowledge and modern techniques – from this blend, new writing instruments have been developed to offer a meaningful contribution in content, innovation and design.

Visconti regularly pays tribute to anything which has left a mark in civilisation. Some of the inspiring themes include the Forbidden City, the ancient knights, the Alchemical Opus, but also Manhattan and Wall Street:
Made of Mother-pearled gray Celluloid and polished stainless steel, The Wall Street pens are highly symbolic not only for their shape, "Squaring the Circle," but also for their material, celluloid, which recalls the Manhattan skyline by night from which its name is inspired.

Or The Van Gogh pen collection:



The patterns in this exquisite collection vary from piece to piece, recalling the impressionist paintings of Van Gogh himself.
