Leonardo “Audace” Guilloché – Art Nouveau
Leonardo offers a new collection in ebonite, a special limited edition that adopts one of the oldest and most fascinating techniques used in the world of writing instruments, the Guilloché, in this case of Italian manufacture.
The 2 past editions presented a Guilloché of French workmanship and with "Art deco" decoration, for this latest "Audace" we have chosen to enhance the Art Nouveau movement or also known as Liberty or Jugendstil style in Germany and Switzerland.
The meaning of Audace: This term has a close link with our productive and creative work, the meaning is linked to creativity and the courage to break the mold while always maintaining an indissoluble bond with the roots of the land that hosts and inspires us, Italy.
The materials: We have chosen 2 classic and enveloping shades, intense black and Red granata, both in ebonite made in Germany. The Guilloché is soft and elegant with an “Ondona” big wave motif.
Filling system: Proprietary piston mechanism, produced in our workshops with the possibility of disassembly with our Wrench
Nibs available: In gold on Japanese ebonite feed, produced in our workshops.
