Meditations on the basics of perfectly sharpened pencils. Caran d'Ache pencil sharpener

Writing by hand is almost an anachronism these days. At the same time, many anachronisms are currently very modern again. So anyone who consciously commits to analog writing could become a pioneer of a new movement that takes "manuscript" literally again. And those who use the products of the Swiss writing and drawing instrument manufacturer Caran d’Ache are relying on a brand that has never lost its passion for handwriting in over a hundred years.

The analog notebook is out of fashion? Far from it. A notebook, written in handwriting, unfolds a creativity beyond digital monotony and creates a vivid memory of the past. Be it to gain more clarity about an event or to note down important activities for the coming day.

The history of the renowned pencil manufacturer Koh-i-Noor goes back to the 18th century. Koh-i-Noor became known worldwide through the innovative invention of Joseph Hardtmuth, who in 1792 developed a novel process for pressing and firing pencil leads - leads then no longer had to be laboriously cut from solid stone. This innovative ability has been preserved at Koh-i-Noor to this day.
