Faber-Castell | dna of democracy

In 1949, Germany's Basic Law, ensuring human rights, was signed with a Faber-Castell pen. In 2024, after extremist threats, Faber-Castell, with ETH Zurich and TU Munich, encoded the Basic Law into DNA ink. Pens with this ink were sent to politicians and journalists, symbolizing unity against Nazism and xenophobia, and reigniting the debate on democratic principles.
