Ripple HRH Limited Edition Visconti Fountain Pen

"Thinking, like a stone tossed into water, creates ripples and waves that travel throughout the vast ocean of thought." However, there is a distinction: water waves go in all directions on a level plane, whereas thinking waves travel in all directions from a common center, just like the sun's beams," says Visconti about his Ripple HRH.

Visconti does not mass-produce their beautiful Ripple HRH in a cold, impersonal factory. Instead, each piece is meticulously made by hand. Making a million similar pens isn't a bad idea; after all, everyone needs to write things down once and then. However, there is more to the distinction between luxury and average than just the materials or procedure.

A designer gets an idea from anything as simple as the motion of thought and water. After that, they must figure out how to turn that concept into a tangible object. Designers frequently have to sketch and discard a dozen or more ideas in order to get a great notion from their thoughts into an usable shape.
