There’s something deeply satisfying about opening a new box of coloured pencils. It takes you back to colouring as a child, new school stationary, or hours spent drawing.

Turns out it’s even more satisfying seeing how the pencils are made.

The Faber-Castell factory started out as a one-man operation in Nuremberg, Germany, in the 1700s, when Kaspar Faber set up his own pencil-making business.
