 | Visconti
Since helping revive the use of celluloid, Visconti has invented the 'Double Reservoir Power Filler', the 'Travelling Ink Pot' and has made many other contributions to the development of writing instruments, extending its expertise to the use of materials such as ebonite, lucite, acrylics and precious metals. Such creativity makes Visconti a truly worthy product of the Florentine tradition and, in our opinion, one of the most creative pen designers today.

 | Yoropen
Yoropen's unusual design is nothing if not attention-grabbing, as evidenced by the numerous glances it receives, which are almost inevitably followed by the question, "Where did you get that pen?" (The Journal Shop, of course!). But its looks are not just for show. The design promotes writing by eliminating strain and left-handers will love it for the fact that they can finally write without blocking their view of the page or smearing ink across it.
