Description from the seller

▐ Collection of Pens Dedicated to Titus Lucretius Carus

Maita is proud to present a unique, limited collection of high-quality pens, created to celebrate the intellectual and moral legacy of one of history’s greatest philosophers: Titus Lucretius Carus. This exclusive series consists of just 199 pieces, making each pen a true collector’s item and a symbol of culture and refinement.
The pens are made from fine ochre Italian resin, a deliberate choice: the color evokes matter, substance, and the physical world, in keeping with his philosophical materialism. Italian resin also ensures outstanding quality, with an elegant and durable finish.
The pen’s design is enhanced with details that highlight its symbolic and philosophical significance:
- The pen’s clip reproduces one of philosophy’s universal symbols, an immediate reference to the wisdom and critical thinking that have endured through the centuries.
- On the barrel, a metal ring is finely engraved on the front with a profile of Titus Lucretius Carus, a visual tribute to the philosopher himself. On the back of the ring is his famous motto: “the drop hollows the stone,” symbolizing the power of perseverance, consistency, and patience. It is not the force of a single blow that prevails, but the continuous, tireless repetition of a small action that leads to extraordinary results..
- Set into the top of the cap, a small coin depicts an owl, an ancient symbol of philosophy and wisdom, recognized as such by Hegel as early as the nineteenth century. This detail gives the pen an additional touch of cultural and historical depth.
This collection is not merely a writing instrument, but a true tribute to philosophy and its timeless teachings.
