Sometimes the simplest designs are the most beautiful. The Stellastar pen from Visconti is created from a single silver bar that is lathe-shaped, smoothened and rhodium plated into the gleaming column with a distinctive star shape. The pen has a two-toned 18k gold nib and each pen in the limited edition of 1,917 (the birth year of the designer,architect Ettore Sottsass ) has a serial number with the author's signature on the base. The pen stands inside a transparent cylinder on a steel and wood base. It sells for $3,500.
