Born to Communicate Values

Graphite at the service of writing, the pencil at the service of communication.

We create bespoke projects for companies seeking an unconventional way to share messages and values rooted in responsibility, innovation, and Made in Italy design.

Perpetua Petit

Perpetua Petit: compact in size, yet carrying the exact same values as Perpetua Classic. A concentration of innovation in just 15 cm, capable of writing for approximately 825 km.

Perpetua Magnetica.jpg

Perpetua Magnetica

An invisible force capable of attracting an object that didn't exist before—isn't that magic?

Perpetua Magnetica comes with an adhesive steel disc coated in reclaimed graphite, allowing you to attach it wherever you prefer and keep it always within reach.

Perpetua Lumina

Perpetua Lumina is a luminous vision of the future—a synthesis of energy-efficiency research conducted by Lucedentro and Alisea’s philosophy of recycling and reuse.

Lumina’s eraser captures and stores natural or artificial light, releasing it in the dark with gradually decreasing intensity to emit a captivating, magical neon glow in blue or green.

Perpetua Gala

A streak of starry sky appears in the dark, illuminating a future where materials and energy intertw in new synergies aimed at growing sustainability. The Perpetua Gala formula includes an iridescent polymer that reveals a luminous, mysterious blue trail in the dark.

Perpetua Picta

“I change my skin, yes, but without changing the essence of who I am.”

An evolution that began in 2017 when Perpetua the pencil inverted its iconic graphite color, donning a coat of white, red, or green through a water-based coating that matches the eraser’s shade.

The Design

Designed by Marta Giardini Studio, Perpetua possesses distinct aesthetic attributes and true novelty: it features a single flat side, while the rest of the body remains rounded.

Thanks to its specialized binder, Perpetua does not soil hands. Its protective outer layer prevents residue transfer while solving the fragility and breakage issues inherent to traditional graphite leads.

  • The eraser forms a single body with the writing core through a co-molding process that eliminates the need for glues or metal ferrules used in traditional pencils.

  • Perpetua writes 21.6 times longer than traditional pencils (data verified by IUAV University). Its line extends for 1,120 km—the exact distance between Vicenza (where Perpetua is made) and Paris.

  • Hardness comparable to an HB pencil.

The Materials

Perpetua the pencil is made from just two materials: Zantech and FDA-certified food-grade rubber. These two materials fuse seamlessly together through an innovative NGS (No Glue System) co-molding process.

Zantech

A patented, versatile technical compound available in injectable granules.

Industrial graphite byproducts are sieved, reduced to a precise particle size, and upgraded with a mineral excipient to produce g® upgraded recycled graphite. This ingredient is then combined with other polymers to yield granules perfectly suited for injection molding.

Food-Grade Rubber (FDA Certified)

Perpetua’s eraser is fused directly to the writing body without any adhesive, making it completely safe for everyday use. Certified for food contact by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
