This pen was exclusively designed and produced by Italian penmaker Visconti for Giardino Italiano. Its style, character and significance are unique, and as rare as the scrimshaw technique used to decorate each and every piece of this limited series.
Some months later, we asked our customers what they thought about the Garden of Eden in an online poll. We were so amazed by their responses that we thought to share their feedback and thoughts in our blog as one of our best advertisements ever.
