Celebrating the mathematical beauty that's all around us, Blackwing's Volume 55 Pencil Set pays tribute to the Golden Ratio - a natural wonder that has captivated everyone from Pythagoras and Euclid to Johannes Kepler, Leonardo Da Vinci and modern-day physicists.

Observable in seashell spirals, ferns unfurling, Mozart's arrangements and Sanskit poetry alike, this marvellous mathematical oddity is lovingly recreated on Blackwing's Volume 55 pencils using the Fibonacci sequence where width of each colour block is the sum of the widths of the previous two colour blocks (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, and 55mm). Simple and majestic, this design is a regular reminder to appreciate the small wonders that surround us everywhere we go.

This set includes 12 Blackwing pencils with themed packaging. These pencils feature a balanced graphite core, which has a versatile feel that handles writing and sketching with equal ease.

Blackwing

With roots stretching back to the 1930s, the Blackwing 602 was the go-to pencil of artists, writers and designers for more than 60 years. After Blackwing loyalists had scoured the earth to find the last of their favourite pencils, Blackwing reintroduced the 602 in 2010, bringing the legend back to life for a whole new generation.
