WHAT AMUSES ME WHILE DRAWING IS THE FACT TO DRAW.
TO ME DRAWING IS LIKE BREATHING AND WRITING. THESE ARETHINGS THAT ALMOST RELAX ME.

The KARLBOX is a unique homage to Karl Lagerfeld as well as an expression of
the symbiosis between artist and tool; a special tribute to the inexhaustible creative
power of designers, without whom our world would be without shape or colour.
In the fashion and lifestyle world, his designs are as well-known and
recognisable as his sleek figure. A multifaceted artist, fashion and accessories
stylist, designer, photographer and publisher, Karl Lagerfeld is also known for his
artistic skills. Artistic skills which, in a few lines, give life to characters, looks,
landscapes, snapshots of life put down on white paper. The pencils that he uses
are extensions of himself: colours, crayons and pencils decorate his various living
and work spaces. And they are all inevitably labelled Faber-Castell. No doubt as,
like each of his creations, these instruments are marked with a true luxury and
authentic seal, one that only experts favour, which denotes quality, requires high
standards and is uncompromising.
The collaboration between Karl Lagerfeld and Faber-Castell was therefore
inevitable. It now takes the form of an exclusive box, an object that is both
aesthetic and functional, in line with the philosophy of the designer: the
KARLBOX. Inevitably black, covered with diamond point headed pins, it is divided
into several drawers which include the primary colours. Therefore, in total, the
KARLBOX contains 350 drawing instruments: markers, pastels, colour pencils,
including reds, blacks, greens, yellows and blues set out like a colour chart. It
is a valuable item, a timeless and luxurious case that Faber-Castell and KARL
LAGERFELD want to offer as a limited edition that is numbered and which comes
with a certificate of authenticity. Only 2.500 of them will be for sale in KARL
LAGERFELD stores and several selected points of sale throughout the world.
Beyond the creative mind and the well-known personality, KARL LAGERFELD
is an international fashion house offering women’s and men’s ready-to-wear
collections as well as handbags and accessories such as shoes, watches,
eyewear, fragrance and small leather goods, completed with limited editions
and lifestyle items. In spring 2016 the brand launches its first Kidswear
line. The fashion house has a network of international stores
including KARL.COM the global online flagship
store, further the brand is available in selected
premium retailers.
