Brand story

The history of Caran d'Ache dates back to 1915. Initially known as "la Fabrique Génoise de Crayons", it was renamed "Caran d'Ache" in 1924 by its director at the time, Arnold Schweitzer. The name derives from the Russian word "karandach", meaning "pencil". This choice reflected the brand's desire to establish itself in the world of fine art. Today, Caran d'Ache is one of the world's leading pencil brands. Caran d'Ache is a family business based in Switzerland, dedicated to preserving precious technical know-how.

The story of Ruscombe Paper Mill began in the UK in 1989  with Christopher Bingham. He was a mechanical engineer, and during a family visit to the Wookey hole caves he stumbled across a small paper mill. A new passion was born. In 1995, the factory was relocated to Margaux-Cantenax in France. In 2010, Christopher Binghan passed on his manufacturing secrets to Frédéric Gironde. 

When he founded the Lascaux company, Alois K. Diethelm set himself a goal: to manufacture acrylic artist's colors that meet the exacting demands of professional painters.

  Over the past 30 years, under the leadership of Barbara Diethelm, herself an artist, Lascaux has maintained a long tradition of craftsmanship, while continuing to create innovative products and remaining true to its commitment to uncompromising quality. As a result, the company has grown to become one of the world's leading manufacturers of paint colors and auxiliaries. Today, Lascaux offers 12 ranges of colors, all developed and manufactured in its Swiss factory in the heart of Europe.
