New Caran d'Ache + Paul Smith collection

The British designer gives a new look to the iconic 849 ballpoint pen for this 4th Caran d'Ache + Paul Smith collaboration. The collection brings together six bicolour 849 ballpoint pens, combining bold, contrasting colours chosen by Paul Smith. The stationery offers us a delightful new journey into the (re)creative world of the famous designer.

Caran d'Ache + Paul Smith: an original limited-edition collection of six 849 pens

Paul Smith brings a new colourful design to the iconic Caran d'Ache 849 ballpoint pen.

The Caran d'Ache + Paul Smith limited edition collection consists of six bicolour 849 ballpoint pens. Each pen comes with a metal box bearing the colours of the model it contains.

The colours chosen to adorn the 849 pens and their case in collaboration with Paul Smith are reminiscent of the suit linings and topstitching of the illustrious designer's shirts. The timeless 849 ballpoint pen is offered a new graphic wardrobe that gives a new interpretation of the famous stripes related to all its products and stationery accessories.

Each 849 pen and metal box in this collaboration with the British designer comes with the inscription “Caran d'Ache + Paul Smith” in golden letters, a seal befitting of a timeless collection.

The challenge of the bicolour Paul Smith pen for Caran d'Ache

The new Caran d'Ache + Paul Smith collection bears witness to the know-how of the Geneva-based company, an expert in stationery accessories and supplies for the Fine Arts. We have taken up the new technical challenge to affix 12 new colours to the hexagonal body of the 849 pen and to their accompanying metal boxes.

The bicolour design of each pen is achieved by lacquering one colour all over the body. We affixed the second colour to the body of each pen with the use of pad printing. This printing process, used for other stationery and writing accessories, allows quality marking that is precise and durable.
