The Making of Caran d'Ache's Recycled Nespresso Graphite Pencils

Opus Resource Library

Caran d’Ache and Nespresso have joined forces once more to present an exclusive collection of two writing instruments made from recycled Nespresso capsules and coffee grounds.

An essential companion of designers, artists and architects, Caran d’Ache’s Fixpencil will get the Nespresso treatment with a body made from recycled capsules. The mechanical pencil will don the bright and glossy ochre of the World Explorations Cape Town Envivo Lungo coffee capsules, for a contemporary yet elegant style. For the very first time, the pair take their collaboration to new heights as the graphite lead of the Fixpencil will be made from recycled coffee grounds. Thanks to ingenuity and ever-evolving expertise of Caran d’Ache’s craftsmen, design aficionados who care for the environment can also find these 100% natural leads in an exclusive set of three graphite pencils. Caran d’Ache has chosen to produce these pencils using FSC-certified beechwood from Swiss forests, strengthening the ecological credentials of this edition.

Note: The Limited Edition Nespresso Graphite Pencil Set of 3 is available in-store only, while quantities last, and the Fixpencil is not currently available at Opus Art Supplies.
