Description

Mini Series /55 — limited to just 55 pieces per color, each individually numbered and engraved on the back of the cap. This edition honors the long-standing friendship and creative collaboration between Leonardo Officina Italiana and Jonathon Brooks of Carolina Pen Company. Their partnership began in 2017, when Salvatore Leonardo first discovered Brooks’ mesmerizing PM1 resin, marking the start of an eight-year journey blending Italian craftsmanship with American artistry.

Design Inspiration

Primary Manipulation 1 (Vesuvius 2025) features silver trims and a striking palette inspired by the volcanic beauty of southern Italy. Its swirling layers of fiery red, gold, and black echo the molten energy of active volcanoes — a perfect harmony of power, movement, and elegance. Each pen is a unique expression of natural forces transformed into functional art.

Leonardo Officina Italiana was the first pen manufacturer to create serially produced writing instruments using Jonathon Brooks’ materials, recognizing their immense potential and the deep connection they evoke within the pen community.
