‘Drawing Collectible Toys’, by Hayon Studio and Caran d’Ache
It was Caran d’Ache’s communications director Catherine Bagnoud who came to us with a solution. Instead of pens or pencils, why not work with pigments instead? One of the pillars of Caran d’Ache’s business – which had so far resisted reinterpretation – is its wax pastels, available in permanent and water-soluble versions. The former, called Neocolor I, was invented in 1952 and is cherished for its smooth texture, bright and long-lasting hues, and ability to colour many surfaces. Almost seven decades on, Neocolor I is still manufactured in Caran d’Ache’s workshops near Geneva, where it exists as loose, luminous chips before being melted into paste and moulded into familiar crayon forms.
