Faber-Castell: Timeless Quality and Innovation
Faber-Castell is a name that has become synonymous with high quality art supplies. Their materials have been trusted by artists for centuries.
Founded in 1761 by cabinet maker Kaspar Faber in Stein, Germany, the company first produced pencils, which would become its signature product. Over the years, Faber-Castell has grown into one of the largest manufacturers of art materials in the world, with a commitment to both tradition and innovation.
Faber-Castell’s legacy in pencil making is perhaps best represented by the Castell Series 9000, introduced in 1905. Known for its smooth application and rich graphite tones, the Castell 9000 set a new standard in the industry. It is available in 16 different hardness grades, making it perfect for all technical and artistic applications. Castell 9000 remains a favourite among professional artists and illustrators.
Over time Faber-Castell's product range has expanded to include coloured pencils, sketching pens, pastels, and a variety of other materials. They are all crafted with the same dedication to quality that has defined the brand for over 260 years.
One of Faber-Castell’s standout innovations is the Polychromos Colour Pencil range. It is known for its vibrant pigment load, smooth laydown, and outstanding lightfastness. These pencils are widely regarded as some of the best in the world.
Albrecht Dürer Watercolour Pencils are another signature line, offering the versatility of watercolour and the control of a pencil, enabling artists to achieve beautiful washes of colour with ease.
Sustainability is at the heart of Faber-Castell’s operations. The company uses FSC-certified wood which is sourced from its own sustainable forests. Additionally, Faber-Castell has implemented eco-friendly practices in its manufacturing processes, making it one of the most environmentally responsible companies in the art materials industry.
Beyond their products, Faber-Castell invests in initiatives that inspire creativity. Their ‘Academy of Art’ in Germany offers workshops and courses to nurture artistic talent, supporting artists in their creative journeys.
For artists seeking the perfect blend of time-tested quality, vibrant colour, and eco-conscious production, Faber-Castell remains a popular choice.
