Classic Pernambuco Graf Von Faber-Castell 0.7mm Mechanical Pencil

£370.00

A spin-off from Graf's signature Perfect Pencil, here is the equally elegant fluted Pernambuco 0.7mm mechanical pencil, first released in 1993 and now a 40 year old vintage. Brazil’s eponymous red toned heartwood, hence its alternate name Brazilwood, is a highly valued material since the Renaissance, specifically used in the music industry for making bows for cellos and other string instruments. It possesses a dense and tight structure which will over time and use, accentuate the wood’s naturally high-shine finish into a deep patina. The trims have been platinum plated, another subtle but considered finish.

Used by the likes of Bismarck to Van Gogh, Karl Lagerfeld and Joseph Beuys, German stationery heavyweight, Faber is best known as one of the possible first and oldest manufacturer of wood cased pencils (or one of two at least, the other being Staetdler). Still privately owned and in its 9 generation, the company now represents a whole world of writing implements, creative and technical tools, not least including fine writing, under the smaller label “Graf von Faber-Castell”

Sad to say that there is now a desirable quality to objects designed in the 90s, an era which was once like design asbestos, it is having a comeback. With accompanying desk accessories in tan leather, Graf von Faber-Castell gives an impression of quality and conservatism (but without the stuffiness) reminiscent of the Hermes brand.
