The Visconti Medici Pen Collection

The Visconti Medici Pen Collection is made from Acrosilk. This material was developed by combining acrylic resin with silk fibers. The result is a stunning composite that is a glossy, luminescent wooden color. Acrosilk has been chosen as a tribute to the ancient luxury materials of the Medici mansions. The ring of the pen has also been chiseled with a symbol of the Medici family.
