The pencil that pays homage to the Fibonacci sequence and golden ratio
Limited edition
IT IS NOTABLE FOR:
- Being a limited edition that pays homage to the golden ratio. A mathematical ratio often found in nature, art, and design. It gives the world around us composition and symmetry that, for reasons we don't fully understand, we find beautiful. It appears in the spiral of a seashell, the unwinding of a fern, and many other natural structures. When applied to the arts, it becomes a tool to create balanced and organic works. The golden ratio can be heard in arrangements by Beethoven, Mozart, and Bach. It can be felt in the syllabic patterns of Sanskrit poetry. It can be seen in the works of artists and architects from Salvador Dalí to Frank Lloyd Wright. It can even be applied in your day to day by framing a portrait using the "Rule of Thirds" of photography.
- Present a design where the width of each color block is the sum of the widths of the two previous color blocks: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34 and 55. We design it in millimeters and then we scale the design. Ratio up to 1:1.175 to fit pencil canvas.

ARTISTIC STYLE FOR TRUE FOODIES
Blackwing pencils were originally introduced by the Eberhard Faber Pencil Company in the 1930s. His cult following included John Steinbeck, Vladimir Nabokov, Truman Capote, Chuck Jones who proudly used the Blackwing 602 to create Bugs Bunny and many other characters from Looney tunes. He declared that a pen is full of ink, but the Blackwing is full of ideas. In 2010, Palomino launched the reissue of the legendary pencils that disappeared in 1990.
