Faber-Castell

Faber-Castell is a German brand with a history stretching all the way back to 1761, when the company was founded and began manufacturing pencils. Today, Faber-Castell is one of the world’s best-known brands for pens, pencils and artists’ materials, with an extensive range for professional artists, students, hobby artists and anyone who appreciates high-quality drawing and writing tools.

The pencil naturally holds an important place in Faber-Castell’s history, but over the years the range has grown to include much more. Today, you’ll find coloured pencils, graphite pencils, watercolour pencils, pastel pencils, markers and other drawing and writing products, alongside erasers, sharpeners and accessories. Across the range, there is a clear focus on quality, functionality and materials designed to deliver excellent results.

One of Faber-Castell’s best-known collections is Polychromos – professional coloured pencils that have become a favourite among illustrators and artists around the world. Faber-Castell Polychromos are available in 120 colours and are known for their high pigmentation, excellent lightfastness and soft, oil-based core. The colours can be built up in layers and blended together, making the pencils suitable for everything from detailed illustrations to smooth transitions and larger areas of colour. Polychromos are available both in sets and individually, making it easy to replace the colours you use most.

Faber-Castell’s artists’ range also includes popular collections such as Albrecht Dürer, featuring water-soluble coloured pencils for watercolour techniques, and Pitt Artist Pen for drawing, illustration and other creative techniques. For working with graphite, there is also a wide selection of pencils in different grades of hardness, suitable for sketching, drawing and detailed work.
