Karl Lagerfeld and Faber-Castell are collaborated to release KARLBOX, a limited-edition collection of high-end drawing tools and artists’ supplies. Only 2,500 of the KARLBOX have been made and will be launched exclusively at Faber-Castell stores, KARL LAGERFELD boutiques worldwide and Harrods, London, on September 1, 2016, and in select department stores and specialty stores from September 19, 2016.
Anchored in simple elegance, the KARLBOX contains 350 fine quality art tools for drawing and painting, all in a sleek black box that has been designed by Karl Lagerfeld. Produced with exemplary craftsmanship, its wooden frame resembles a Chinese wedding cabinet; inside, drawers store the art supplies, sorted by colour shades, all of which have been personally selected by Karl Lagerfeld and symbolise the synergy between fashion, art and design. The individual drawers are removable in order to set them up for creative work. Every one-of-a-kind box has a serial number and certificate of authenticity, making each completely unique and unmistakeable.
The KARLBOX collection features a varied selection of premium artists’ tools including Albrecht Dürer and Polychromos colour pencils, highly pigmented Pitt Artist ink pens, Castell 9000 graphite pencils and Pitt crayons and -pastels, watercolour brushes and accessories like a foldable water cup, an eraser and sharpeners.
Crafted with the highest degree of quality, shades are sorted by primary and secondary colours, ranging from soft pastels to vibrant and intense pigmentations. Karl Lagerfeld’s own favourite product line is the Albrecht Dürer artist range of watersoluble colour pencils, and all 120 shades are included in the KARLBOX.
The KARLBOX will be available for approximately €2,500 (the price varies on different markets).
