Visconti Homo Sapiens 'Iris Garden' Limited Edition fountain pen

Introduction of the latest addition to the Homo Sapiens series: the Homo Sapiens Iristuin, inspired by the fascinating Iristuin in Florence, Italy. This pen captures the essence of the blooming irises that adorn the historic Florentine garden from late April to late May and is a tribute to their beauty and grace. The fountain pen delves into the rich knowledge surrounding the beloved 'lily' of Florence and nods to its controversial origin, presumably derived from the Iris Florentina, which was once abundant in the Arno Valley. 

Known by the locals as 'ghiacciolo' or icicle due to its pristine, somewhat bluish hue, the iris symbolizes not only Florence but also its legendary past and cultural heritage. The lily dates back to the 11th century when it adorned the banners and shields of Florentine soldiers and became the emblem of the city. It embodied qualities such as wisdom, courage, and faith that have defined Florence through the centuries. The Homo Sapiens Iris Garden is crafted with meticulous attention to detail and features special semi-transparent demo resins that have been carefully selected by our designers.

The pièce de résistance lies in the rose gold finishes, which elegantly complement the hues of the resin while bringing a touch of sparkle and luxury to the design. The Homo Sapiens Iris Garden is limited to only 388 pieces worldwide and is a testament to craftsmanship and exclusivity. Don't miss this opportunity to own a work of art inspired by one of the world's most enchanting gardens. This pen is equipped with the rose gold plated Visconti - 18kt gold nib. You can choose the nib from 5 available sizes: Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, Broad, and Stub 1.3 mm. The 18k gold nib is made in-house by Visconti and offers a true and original writing experience.
