The Piuma is inspired by the genius of Leonardo da Vinci and his investigations into flight. Made entirely of pear wood, its shape is reminiscent of a goose feather, and da Vinci’s mirror signature is engraved into its barrel. When the Piuma is balanced on its polished steel stand, the signature can be read in the reflection.
Using a clever and patented metal alloy tip (Ethergraf ®) to produce a precise, graphite-like line, the Piuma writes like a hard pencil, and its markings – which are lighter than a normal pencil – can even be erased like one. Like a pencil, it works by leaving a bit of the ‘lead’ on the paper, but the metal alloy wears down so slowly it should last for a lifetime of use.
Made in Italy, entirely by hand. 155mm long, diameter 6mm.
