Caran d'Ache

Caran d’Ache has a special link to the worlds of design, painting and writing: its name is a reference to the most important tool in drawing. From its earliest days in 1915 and the official opening of the company in 1924 by Arnold Schweitzer, Caran d’Ache’s development has reflected its passion more...
for the most beautiful materials.
Why Caran d’Ache? Because a leading artist of the time was a Russian, Emmanuel Poiré, and in his native language “Karandash” means a pencil. It is possible that neither he nor Arnold Schweitzer knew the true origins of the word and they would be delighted to know that it comes from the Turkish “kara tash” meaning “black stone” the natural pigment that makes marks. It is graphite, the material that helped to develop drawing and writing and is so valuable for artists and for Caran d’Ache pencils.

    Chinese lacquer is a treasure of nature; a noble juice that produces the world’s most prestigious lacquers and decorates the most beautiful objects with its uniquely brilliant sheen. Although it has been used in China for several thousand years, very few western manufacturers have the special expertise required to prepare and apply it. The techniques were developed by the great oriental masters and Caran d’Ache is one of the rare companies to share their secrets. The Chinablack line carefully respects the ancient Chinese tradition and each rhodium-coated silver-plated or gold plated writing instrument is a highly refined objet d’art.   Black Chinese lacquer Silver plated body, cap and trims In the luxury box

    Mysterious and mystical: black takes elegance to the ultimate. When the lake slips into its suit of inky black, the moon comes up to look and adds a touch of light with its twinkling little reflections. The finely lined silver, coated in rhodium, is inspired by the moon’s sparkle to light up the body of the writing instrument and create a hymn to the night, with all the intensity of black.
