{"product_id":"visconti-homo-sapiens-crystal-dream-fountain-pen","title":"Visconti Homo Sapiens Fountain Pen - Crystal Dream","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Visconti Homo Sapiens Fountain Pen - Crystal Dream unites the collection’s signature volcanic lava with a transparent ink chamber, creating a refined demonstrator that reveals the heart of Visconti’s vacuum filling architecture. Bronze accents add warmth and depth, while the tactile lava cap and grip lend a confident, organic feel in the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCraftsmanship \u0026amp; Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilt around Visconti’s lava-resin composite, the cap, section, and blind cap offer a uniquely dry, grippy surface that resists slipping and grows more characterful with use. The clear central barrel provides a clean view of ink level and mechanism, balancing the material’s volcanic origins with a modern, technical aesthetic. Solid bronze trim complements the dark lava tones and will naturally develop a patina, reflecting a life of writing rather than a static finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVisconti’s Hook Safe Lock cap secures with a quick bayonet action, ensuring a reliable seal without over-tightening. The spring-loaded bridge clip glides easily onto a pocket or notebook, a practical detail that also signals the brand’s Florentine design language.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWriting Experience\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn in-house 18k gold nib provides smooth, responsive performance with a touch of softness. Flow is balanced for everyday notes as well as longer sessions, and the range of nib sizes — from extra fine through stub — makes it easy to match line character to your writing style. The gently contoured lava grip remains steady and comfortable, even during extended use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFilling is handled by Visconti’s Power Filler vacuum system, offering generous capacity and an integrated ink shutoff valve for added travel confidence. The transparent barrel makes it simple to monitor ink level, while the vacuum mechanism’s satisfying actuation underscores the pen’s technical refinement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBrand Heritage\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom its Florentine workshop, Visconti has long explored material innovation and expressive design. The Homo Sapiens line is celebrated for its basaltic lava composite sourced from Mount Etna, chosen for durability, tactility, and unmistakable character. Crystal Dream extends that legacy with modern transparency, pairing a time-honored writing feel with a clear view into the instrument’s workings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Visconti (Italy)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: Homo Sapiens – Crystal Dream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterials: Basaltic lava-resin composite (cap, grip, blind cap); transparent resin barrel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrim: Solid bronze accents (natural patina over time)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNib: 18k gold; available in EF, F, M, B, and Stub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilling System: Visconti Power Filler vacuum plunger with ink shutoff\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCap: Hook Safe Lock bayonet closure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClip: Spring-loaded bridge clip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInk: Bottled fountain pen ink\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign: Demonstrator barrel for clear ink view\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Visconti","offers":[{"title":"Extra Fine","offer_id":32145272078370,"sku":"KP15-13-01-FP-EF","price":1196.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine","offer_id":32145272111138,"sku":"KP15-13-01-FP-F","price":1196.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":32145272143906,"sku":"KP15-13-01-FP-M","price":1196.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Broad","offer_id":32145272176674,"sku":"KP15-13-01-FP-B","price":1196.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1.3mm Stub","offer_id":32145272209442,"sku":"KP15-13-01-FP-S","price":1196.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2083\/6627\/files\/visconti-homo-sapiens-crystal-dream-fountain-pen.jpg?v=1754671309","url":"https:\/\/www.truphaeinc.mom\/products\/visconti-homo-sapiens-crystal-dream-fountain-pen","provider":"Truphae","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
