On Sale: Visconti Opera Demo Carousel Fountain Pen - Red Velvet
Visconti is thrilled to announce the launch of the new Opera Demo 'Carousel' collection. The world of sophistication and luxury at the Palace of Versailles made history for its embellished parties, colorful dresses, and theatrical hairstyles.
A carousel of colors: pink, green, blue, and red transport us to an eccentric palace party where high spirits and extravagance take center stage.
This new collection stands out for its beautiful transparencies and bright red velvet color that highlight the 'squaring of the circle' design of the iconic Visconti Opera. Patented in 2004, the squaring the circle design was inspired by Leonardo Da Vinci's 'Vitruvian Man' and is often admired as the perfect ergonomic shape for a writing instrument.
As always, Visconti excels at creating uniquely swirled resins, this time in 4 striking colors. Each Opera Demo color variant is a blend of three types of semi-transparent acrylic resin. The combination of these materials gives the pen its brightness and unique detailing. All metal fitting are finished in palladium and polished by hand.
The fountain pen features Visconti's new in-house 14kt gold nib, available in EF, F, M, B, and Stub widths. It also features a new style piston rod, crafted from a very durable Acrylic Resin. The new rod is translucent and does not disrupt the view of ink in the new Opera Demo body when filled.
The fountain pen fills using Visconti's patented double reservoir power filler and features a second ink window round the ring of the pen behind the nib. The fountain pen is also characterized by Visconti's patented hook-safe lock closure.
