Collection: Graf von Faber-Castell Pen of the Year 2023

The Pen of the Year 2023 is inspired by ancient Egypt, its 3,000-year-old history, its gods and goddesses, its mythology and its achievements. The people called their home Kemet (meaning “Black Land”) because it was often flooded by the dark silt of the Nile, which fertilised the earth. This annual cycle is said to have led to the creation of the calendar system consisting of roughly 365 days. The black colour and decorative elements of the Pen of the Year 2023 are testaments to the origins of the Kingdom of Egypt, the pharaohs, their hieroglyphs and symbols.
