Visconti Medina Fountain Pen

Visconti pays tribute to Muhammad, the founder of Islam with the Medina Limited Edition Pen. Medina is the burial place of Muhammad, the second most sacred site in Islam. His tomb is located in one of the three oldest mosques in Islam.

The body of the fountain pen is turned from ivory colored resin. The green marbled green cap recalls the green dome under which Muhammad is buried. The microcast artwork around the fountain pen signifies the doors leading to his tomb. The clip reminds us of the many columns that may be found inside the mosque.

This edition is limited to 622 pieces in honor of the Hijra. It is available in fountain pen or rollerball. The fountain pen features Visconti’s power filler and a 23kt palladium nib.

Science and Ethic, Third Millennium and Secularism, Laicism and Religion, these are just some of the great themes of humanity which often compete among each other, opposing themselves.

Globalisation has enlarged this dichotomy: although at the end of the past century science and rationalism seemed to prevail, at least in all industrialised countries, throughout the third millennium, because of uncertainties mostly due to September 11th, religion has dramatically become more and more significant not only from the spiritual, but also and unfortunately from the conflict fostering point of view, which is a consequence of the establishment of the new multiethnic societies.

This chain of events has brought religion more and more at the centre of our lives, last but not least in our political perception too.

Visconti has always been very attentive in giving importance with its creations to aspects and themes that have impact, change or describe our life: this Limited Edition fountain pen collection is dedicated to all religions of the world and the name chosen to describe it is (not by chance) MYSTIC PENS.

Islam is one of the great religions of the world and we thought it was right to create a tribute to the two symbol towns where Muhammad was born and mostly active : Mecca & Medina

MEDINA
Medina is the town where Muhammad died.

Medina is turned from ivory coloured resin bars whit a green marbled cap recalling the famous dome, one of the most well known symbols of Islam together with the Kaaba.

The decoration pattern, which is also the focus of the entire pen, is the wonderful microcast artwork on the shaft representing the doors of the holy chamber where the prophet is buried.

The cap is decorated by a large ring with patterns recalling those doors and this whole decoration is in great harmony with the shaft. The clip recalls the form of the many columns inside the Mosk.

The Mecca pen numbering system is inspired to number 622, the year of Hijra.
