Description

A rarely-bettered example of collaboration making good work great, Blackwing's Volume 192 Pencil Set celebrates the iconic pairing of John Lennon and Paul McCartney with a striking prismatic design. Named for the approximately 192 songs the duo wrote together, and with legendary lyrics from some of the best-loved Beatles songs stamped on the body, the design of the Volume 192 shows the meeting of light and dark (moods often attributed to McCartney and Lennon respectively), coming together to create a flash of colour that no half could have created on its own. Like the way Lennon and McCartney (and Harrison, and Starr) came together to create something greater than the sum of their parts, so too does Volume 192 take the monochrome and turn it into bright, vivid colour. Each of the 12 pencils in this set features a different lyric from a Lennon-McCartney song, with an Extra-Firm graphite core that keeps its sharp point longer, making it a perfect pencil for impassioned note-taking and technical drawing.

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.
