Italian pen engineers have once again decided to reconsider the shape of the modern writing instrument.

Here is a novel approach to provide a unique form and shape in writing comfort, or perhaps just a retrospective view of the earliest natural known forms of writing instruments. This novel form is now introduced by one of the most clever of Italian pen companies who has brought to the pen market the unique power piston filler and the vacuum filler travelling ink pot.

Visconti states that, in fact it is not round as any other pen and it is not square which would make it not ergonomic. It is simply unique as all things which long for perfection. The perfect proportion of the volumes of the cap of the body and the essential and elegant shape of the clip and it’s perfect mechanism complete this tri-dimensional masterpiece.

The pen is highly symbolic not only in it’s shape (circle/square) or in the number 4 (the 4 elements) but also in it’s material which recalls the wall and the skyline of Manhattan by night, from which it’s name is inspired : Wall Street, another symbol, centre of the world finance of the modern globalization.

Wall Street is made of celluloid, the queen of materials, the tradition and innovation in writing instruments. Since 1988 Visconti means celluloid.
