(Cleveland, OH)  Faber-Castell celebrates the 100th Anniversary of Polychromos Artist Color Pencils with a Limited Edition Retro Pencil Set of 60-colors.  The packaging design is based on a sophisticated crocodile patterned case used for Polychromos Pencils in the 1950’s.  The retro feel of this distinctive set, combined with the fact that only 5555 pieces are being offered worldwide, makes it a unique gift for holiday giving.  The Retro set is perfect for everyone on your gift list who appreciates art, design, and color.  Each set is marked with a limited edition number. 

For a century, artists, designers, architects, illustrators and people in general have been fascinated with the Polychromos Artist Color Pencils because of their high quality leads available in 120 shades, most of them with maximum light-fastness.  They can be used to draw colourful landscapes, still lifes, portraits, mixed media and more.  Able to retain a fine point, these pencils are excellent for detailed work and precise markings.   

Polychromos Artist Color Pencils have 3.8mm leads encased in California cedar that are SV-bonded to resist breakage.  Polychromos leads provide permanent, rich color that lays down smoothly and blends easily.  The Polychromos Artist Color Pencil Limited Editon Retro Set of 60-colors has a suggested retail price of $187.00.
