Leonardo × @nibsandflourishes Momento Zero Fioritura Viola Fountain Pen

I have always had an affinity for purple. I could get lost in the richness of a velvety purple bloom, or the delicacy of an ethereal lavender hue. Purple inspires me. So naturally purple took on a starring role in my garden over the years. Violet hues appear in waves over the course of the year, starting with tiny iris reticulata, crocus and hellebores in early spring, followed by alliums, fritillaries, and fragrant lilacs. The fresh deep purple foliage of the loropetalum, cotinus, ninebark and heuchera form the base notes for this purple symphony. As spring begins to fade into summer the siberian iris, salvia and and several shades of purple clematis take over the show. Reddish purple daylilies, drumstick alliums, French lavender and dahlias rein in summer, and the growing season closes with periwinkle purple asters in the fall. I wanted to capture the feeling in my heart when I see perfect purple blossoms opening in my garden for the first time and the layered hues of violet that echo across the garden. For the pen, I selected multiple shades of violet inspired by a few of my favorite inks that echo the rich purples in the garden, swirled with ribbons of sparkling lavender. Rose gold trim makes the perfect complement to the lovely material custom made by Tailored Pen Company. Leonardo has been one of my favorite brands for years – some of the most beautiful pens I own are Leonardos and I’m thrilled to have my idea turned into one of their works of art. I chose the name Fioritura Viola, which means a purple blossoming or efflorescence but fioritura also means an ornamental flourish in both the musical and calligraphic sense. I felt it captured my garden and my love of purple perfectly. — @nibsandflourishes Beautifully crafted with either la Fenice 14kt gold and steel nibs with ABS feed,  this exquisite creation’s Fiortura Viola design will envelop you in sublime elegance.
