Virtruvius – Where Form Honors Thought
From the Edinburgh Series | Handmade in Colorado
Inspired by Da Vinci’s pursuit of proportion and purpose, Virtruvius is a study in balance. Deep marbled grays, white marble striations, and smoky resin undertones are framed in Highlander’s signature red gold—bringing harmony to motion, mind, and material.
This is a pen built not only to write, but to elevate thought into legacy.
Hand-turned in Colorado from our Edinburgh silhouette, it features the Highlander Rampant Lion finial and polished red gold elements. The pen feels powerful in the hand, designed to glide across parchment or page with precise presence.
Design & Symbolism
The name Virtruvius nods to both Da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man and the classical pursuit of beauty through proportion. The resin evokes weathered stone and ancient artistry. With its gold-framed strength and calculated aesthetic, this pen becomes a tool of thinkers, scholars, and creatives.
