Elegance, precision, and a passion for quality, unmistakable design – this is how the special cooperation between Bentley and Graf von Faber-Castell takes shape.
Representing the relationship between the two manufacturers, the first writing instrument and accessory collection combines the iconic brand of Bentley with the timeless elegance of Graf von Faber-Castell.
Start your engines – but now for the extraordinary writing experience!
Two worlds, one design
The Graf von Faber-Castell for Bentley collection is crafted from selected materials, handmade with exceptional precision, with the aim of uniting the best qualities of both worlds. As a tribute to Bentley's distinctive diamond pattern, the slender metal body of the writing instruments is adorned with a guilloche-style diamond pattern. The collection's eye-catching colors are inspired by Bentley's exclusive paints, including „Sequin Blue,” „Tungsten,” and „White Satin.”.
Those who influenced the project
Chris Cooke, the Head of Product Design at Bentley Motors Ltd., states that translating the Bentley DNA into other products is always a challenge, but Graf von Faber-Castell has achieved this remarkably well with the Bentley product family.
Charles Graf von Faber-Castell, the head of the premium division, believes that there are many similarities between Bentley and Graf von Faber-Castell in terms of company and corporate culture: the corporate tradition shaped by personalities, the unmistakable design, uncompromising quality, and the understated elegance represented by their products.
Quality down to the smallest details
The high-gloss polished components of the writing instruments resemble the striking, chrome elements of a Bentley. The pen case also evokes the stylish materials used in the car's interior design, where only the finest, hand-stitched leather is found.
The case is made from the highest quality Italian calf leather, an elegant accessory that also has a perfect touch.
Graf von Faber-Castell for Bentley
The pens in the Graf von Faber-Castell for Bentley collection (fountain pen, ballpoint pen, and rollerball) feature a sleek and modern design – whether in velvety white, pure blue, or metallic gray. The Bentley „B” letter on the cap and the distinctive ribbing refine the writing instruments as classic Bentley design elements representing the highest craftsmanship quality.
The experience of writing is captivating from the moment the fountain pen touches the paper and smoothly follows the path of the letters. In this way, it resembles the enjoyment of driving a Bentley, as it moves powerfully and purposefully with effortless elegance on the road.
