Some materials do more than shape an object: they preserve a story, a tradition, a legacy. With the new Homo Sapiens Legacy, Visconti brings back to the forefront one of the most iconic materials in the history of writing instruments: celluloid, an extraordinary material that has marked the evolution of high-end pens and forms part of the Maison’s historical tradition. Introduced at the beginning of the twentieth century and long cherished by collectors, celluloid is considered one of the most prestigious and fascinating materials ever used in the world of luxury writing instruments. |
