Released in November 2019, the Blackwing Volumes 155 limited edition Blackwing pencil is a tribute to the Bauhaus School of Art and the 155 students who graduated.
From the included insert:
In 1923, Bauhaus artist and influencer Wassily Kandinsky shared a curious questionnaire with his peers. The test asked respondents to assign one of the three primary colors (red, yellow, blue) to one of three simple shapes (a circle, a square, and a triangle). Kandinsky theorized that there was a universal analogy between share and color, and his experiment sough to prove this theory. The results were surprisingly consistent: a blue circle, a red square, and a yellow triangle. These shapes and colors have since become synonymous with the Bauhaus style, and served as inspiration for the design of the Blackwing 155.
The Palomino Blackwing Volume 155. It’s more than just a pencil, it’s an experience.
