Crafted in Rimowa’s Cologne factory, the case is made from anodized aluminum in silver, a finish designed to develop a patina and grow more personal with use. A leather handle, borrowed from the brand’s Classic collection, gives it the look of a vintage traveling kit. Opening the case sets off an unfolding motion that lifts a custom two-level tray into view, with every tool held in its own place. The interior holds a full spectrum of Polychromos pencils, prized by professional illustrators for their oil-based cores, alongside co-branded 2B graphite pencils with a triangular, nonslip grip. A platinum-plated sharpener and eraser from the Graf von Faber-Castell collection complete the set. The case retails for $3,100 in the U.S. and is sold at Rimowa stores worldwide and online, as well as at Faber-Castell stores in Germany and through its European ecommerce channels. Each piece carries a two-year warranty. Designed for professional artists and enthusiasts alike, the collaboration is pitched as much as a collector’s object or gift as a working tool, whether kept at home, in the studio or taken on the road. The launch also shows how Rimowa continues to apply its aluminum codes to objects far from the airport, extending the brand into hobbies and the home. Craft in common Collaborations with specialist makers have become a recurring part of Rimowa’s product strategy. In August, the brand introduced a limited-edition Dartboard Case developed with professional dartboard maker Winmau, promoted in a campaign starring American actor Walton Goggins at its historic Cologne factory ( see story ).
