Homo Sapiens Carbon Rose

Carbon Rose: research and elegance

The third chapter of the Homo Sapiens Carbon family, this edition continues the journey that began with the golden reflections of Carbon Moiré and the mysterious character of Carbon Abyssus. Its language is that of nuances: the dark background and pinkish veins create a contrast that changes with the light, transforming a technical material into an expression of personal taste.

Forged carbon and pink veins

Material research has accompanied the Homo Sapiens since the introduction of volcanic lava. For the Carbon family, the inspiration comes from the manufacture of Italian supercars: fragments of carbon fiber and resin are joined in a lightweight composite with an organic and irregular pattern.
Compared to a regular weave, the texture of forged carbon offers a freer and always unique visual movement.

In this version, the compound has been perfected through the addition of carbon, with the aim of optimizing mechanical properties and color rendering. A pink anodized aluminum alloy leaf is amalgamated into the compound: its veins emerge among the dark fibers and give each piece its own identity.
To learn more about the material, you can read the entry dedicated to carbon fiber.

Ergal finishes and coordinated details

The metal parts are made of Ergal, an aluminum-based alloy also used in the aerospace field, chosen for its lightness and mechanical strength.
The anodized finish echoes the pink hue of the veins and creates chromatic continuity between the body and the metallic details.

The magnetic closure completes the model with a solution integrated into its design.

The Carbon Rose fountain pen: Power Filler and gold nib

The fountain pen version of the Visconti Homo Sapiens Carbon Rose uses the double-reservoir Power Filler filling system. The central transparent window allows you to observe the ink even when the pen is closed, without interrupting the harmony of its lines. The 18kt gold Visconti nib with a pink finish is available in Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, Broad, and Stub sizes, so you can choose the stroke closest to your writing style.

The edition includes 288 fountain pens and 288 rollerballs.
The choice between the two versions allows you to find the same aesthetic identity in different writing instruments. Also discover other Visconti pens to explore the materials and interpretations of Florentine craftsmanship.
