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 Leonardo's 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
Leonardo has chosen 2 classic and enveloping shades for their first Audace pens; 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 Leonardo's workshops with the possibility of disassembly.

Nibs available in gold on Japanese ebonite feed, produced in our workshops.

The Intense Black version is limited to just 223 pens

At the Dutch Pen Show of 2021, visitors were invited to vote for the theme of this year’s pen show. The majority chose blue, and that’s why the theme for the 2022 Dutch Pen Show became ‘Summer Sky’, to celebrate that after several postponements the DPS was back to its original schedule in the month of June.

For the third year in a row, the Dutch Pen Show has collaborated with Leonardo Officina Italiana to create a stunning fountain pen in the theme of the show. The material for the pen is a creation by Jonathon Brooks of Carolina Pen Company.

The pen has all the shades of blue of the summer sky, mingled with the white of typical Dutch clouds on a summer’s day.

The pens are equipped with piston filling system and a 14kt gold regular nib or the optional flexible Elastic nib with the logo of the Dutch Pen Show.

The engraving reads: “Dutch Pen Show 2022 Exclusive” and the limited edition number.

The pen is available with gold or silver details. The pens will be shipped in a sleeved box with a complementary bottle of ink.

The Leonardo Furore Aquapetra combines the charm of the sea and the uniqueness of the amethyst gemstone, creating a mix of fresh shades and elegance at the same time.

The Leonardo Officina Italiana Furore collection is honouring the colors of the Amalfi Coast landscapes, where the Italian pen company is based. It is a magic place, where land and sea meet each other, so beautiful and fascinating that takes your heart, with bright and strong colors. The vintage look of its shape recalls the old classics, rounded at ends, well balanced both when capped or posted.

The fountain pen has a stainless steel nib in different sizes and uses the standard international cartridge/converter filling mechanism (converter included).

And the story goes on... A family tradition. Leonardo Officina Italiana is a forge, a laboratory where experience and craftsmanship are mixed giving life to “pleasure”, the pleasure of writing. Over 45 years of experience in the field of writing instruments, handed down from father to son, from generation to generation. Today Leonardo Officina Italiana works on emotional and vintage projects, taking up the old loading systems, the materials and the working techniques that once characterized the craft of the craftsman. The Leonardo pens have a soul, a human warmth that only passion can give. The fountain pen carved into the material is certainly this detail that differentiates us on the world market. Each Leonardo collection is hand made in Italy.

The Leonardo Furore Grande is a fountain pen with a piston filler, available in 4 different colors. After numerous requests received from the world market, Leonardo decides to introduce the new Furore in the "grande" version with piston mechanism (capacity 1.5ml), ebonite feed.

Recall that in 2018 we launched the Furore cartridge/converter filling collection, the name Furore is inspired by the famous fiord located on the Amalfi Coast, the small village of Furore is hidden there.
Part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997, it is officially considered one of the most beautiful villages in Italy for the charm of its fiord. Halfway between Sorrento and Amalfi, just below the Path of the Gods, Furore is a hidden gem between rough cliffs and the sea.

The attention to detail in the turning and polishing phase, the high quality of the finishes make this collection unique, even the “grande” version of the Furore features a stainless steel ring (we therefore guarantee that it is not subject to oxidation or peel over time or in contact with ink).

The package includes a 40ml ink bottle.

The Leonardo Furore Ginger is the union of 2 classic colours: brown and grey, which go perfectly with the cigar-shaped design of the Furore collection.
