Polycolor Colored Pencils: set of 36

$36.00

While art supply giants have outsourced production and cheapened formulations, Mitsubishi keeps making these oil-based pencils in Japan exactly as they always have.  

The palette includes 36 hues with enough personality to stand alone and enough compatibility to play well together when mixed. Layer colors directly or introduce solvents to transform them into something resembling paint without the commitment issues. They hold a point remarkably well and apply with consistent pressure.

The metal tin showcases distinctly Japanese mid-century industrial design with bold color blocking and typography, perfect for those who appreciate functional objects with authentic design history.

Color for people who thought they'd outgrown colored pencils until they encountered these.

36 pencils
Metal tin dimensions: 11" × 7.5"
Oil-based core
Made in Japan

These carefully chosen and crafted pieces represent a considered mix of the esoteric and the highly pragmatic. Many of these simple things reflect the hand of the artisan or the quiet genius of the inventor. They are useful in ways that are difficult to quantify but, if pressed, we would say they make life a little more efficient and a lot more beautiful.

We would be great together -
