5. Caran d'Ache Neocolor II
Since 1975, Neocolor II Watercolour has established itself as an integral part of the fine arts thanks to its versatility and the intensity of its pigments. It goes back to a special request: in the early 1950s, Caran d'Ache launched Neocolor I, a permanent wax pastel that was loved by educators and artists such as Picasso and Mirò. Its vibrant colours and quality are unsurpassed, but it has one drawback: it sticks so well that it leaves permanent marks on tables. Caran d'Ache then developed a water-soluble version, and so Neocolor II Aquarelle was born. To mark its 50th anniversary, Caran d'Ache is celebrating this special occasion with a Special Edition and a Limited Edition.

Faber-Castell - Innovation from Tradition. The origins of Faber-Castell date back to 1761 when carpenter Kaspar Faber began producing pencils in Stein near Nuremberg, which his wife sold at the Nuremberg market. By the 19th century, the foundation for conquering the global market was laid with branches in trade metropolises like New York and Paris. During this time, the company also received its current name, Faber-Castell, through a noble marriage.
Today, the company is the world's largest manufacturer of graphite and colored pencils, with production facilities in nine countries and over 8,000 employees, offering a wide range of stationery and paper products. The company places great importance on social and ecological sustainability. Since 2010, 95 percent of the wood used has been certified according to strict FSC standards, and thanks to its own forests, Faber-Castell is one of the few companies in the writing instrument industry certified as climate-neutral.
