Luxury and Ebony. Storyline
Ebony is a luxury pens and pencils brand with a strong heritage.
A family from Bavaria opened a little pencils factory. Since then it became a sophisticated pen and pencil making company. They earned a good reputation. Craftsmanship and sophistication are core of the brand DNA.
Limited edition pencils became a gift to businessmen and senior architects.
Ebony pencils provide an element of authority and experience. Excellent gift for senior architects.
After the storyline was created two illustrations were created inspired by illustrations of German nobility of that time.
Ebony's philosophy: special gift.
Ebony means dark/black wood. Packaging colour was created black.
