Homo Sapiens Arizona Sunset
For Visconti, the HS Arizona Sunset collection represents an emotionally charged journey through the Arizonian landscape, where the sunset becomes one with the fiery colours of the desert.
Sunset offers a synthesis of the struggles, triumphs and defeats that occurred during the twelve hours of the day.

A WONDER AT SUNSET
The state of Arizona is rich in evocative landscape and natural resources. It is home to the imposing Grand Canyon, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Our craftsmen took the variety of colours that paint the canyon walls at sunset as inspiration to painstakingly recreate a harmony of warm and amber hues in acrylic resin on the cap and barrel of the pen.
THE NAME
The etymology of the name “Arizona” is unclear; it may originate from a term in the O’odham language, “alĭ ṣon” (small spring), or from “aritz ona”, the Basque words for good oaks.
It is also called Grand Canyon State, Baby State or Sweetheart State, the latter due to the fact that it joined the US on Valentine’s Day.
