WANTED TO TELL YOU


ABOUT A TYPE OF PENCIL


I HAVE FOUND, BY FABER...


Founded in 1761, Faber-Castell is one of the


world’s oldest industrial companies and is


now in the hands of the eighth generation


of the same family. Today it is the world’s


leading manufacturer of wood-cased pencils,


producing over 2000 million black-lead and


colour pencils per year. The Faber-Castell Castle, headquarters in Stein (Germany).


T


he liaison between Karl Lagerfeld
and Faber-Castell dates back to 1987,
the year of the wedding between
Count Anton-Wolfgang von Faber-Castell
and his wife Mary. The couturier created a
breathtaking bridal gown for the wedding
ceremony made from silk satin and tulle.
This encounter with such a unique artist was
the prelude to a long-standing cooperation.
Designers such as Karl Lagerfeld nourish
the demand for work tools of the highest
excellence and quality, which form a solid
foundation for the blossoming of their
creative power. The Faber-Castell Art &
Graphic product line unites the best of
255 years of company experience in the
development and manufacture of exclusive
artists’ products. This product line enjoys
a high reputation with artists as well as
designers of all types.
Famous artists such as Vincent van Gogh,
Paul Klee, Oskar Kokoschka and Neo Rauch
have appreciated or are still appreciating
the vast selection of colour nuances, as
well as the quality promise of this product
line, which has remained unchanged to this
day: The high-quality pigments guarantee
unsurpassed light-fastness and colour
brilliance – for works that will stand the test
of time.
