Blackwing

Blackwing designs pencils, notebooks and tools for people who write, draw or compose. Its range centres on soft-lead pencils with a recognisable look.

History

The brand brings together writers, artists, musicians and designers, and presents its own story as that of a pencil. It regularly releases themed limited editions, alongside notebooks, replacement erasers and a quarterly zine.

These series lead to collaborations with artists and workshops, such as a furoshiki made with a studio in Kyoto.
