The house of Faber-Castell

The Faber-Castell family has made writing instruments in Stein, near Nuremberg, since 1761, and over eight generations it has become one of the most respected names in the world of writing. Graf von Faber-Castell is the family's luxury line, created to bring together the finest natural materials, precious metals and hand finishing. Its pens are known for understated German elegance: nothing is added for show, and every detail, from the weight of the cap to the click of the clip, is designed to feel right in the hand.

The Bloom design

Bloom is one of the newest collections from Graf von Faber-Castell. Its profile is a modern, floral reinterpretation of classic fluting: instead of the straight, regular grooves seen on traditional pens, the surface swells and curves like the petals of an opening flower, giving the pen soft, dynamic volume. Natural wood is paired with precisely milled brass components that are hand finished and plated, and each pen is made in small batches. The result is a sculptural object that feels warm and organic in the hand while keeping the clean precision for which the brand is known.

The Ebony Wood finish

Ebony is one of the most precious woods in the world: dense, heavy and so dark that it is almost black. It has been prized for centuries for piano keys, fine furniture and chess pieces, and when polished it takes on a deep, glassy lustre. On the Bloom, the ebony is paired with black ruthenium-plated metal, a rare platinum-group metal with a dark, gunmetal sheen.

The result is the most dramatic Bloom: a dark, monochrome pen in which the curves of the profile and the subtle figure of the wood are revealed only as the light moves across it. It is modern, masculine and quietly luxurious.

Using the Ebony Wood Bloom rollerball

Pull off the cap of the Graf von Faber-Castell Bloom Ebony Wood rollerball and it is ready to write, with a smooth, liquid line. The snap cap clicks on securely and protects the tip of the Ebony Wood Bloom. When the ink runs out, simply replace the refill of the Ebony Wood Bloom with a Graf von Faber-Castell rollerball refill; our team will help you choose the correct one.

Why a rollerball?

A rollerball writes with liquid ink through a fine ball tip, giving a line that is as smooth and dark as a fountain pen's, but with the simplicity of a ballpoint. There is no nib to choose and no ink to fill: you simply uncap and write. Because the ink is water-based, a rollerball must be capped when not in use, so the tip does not dry out. It is the perfect choice for anyone who loves the feel of a fountain pen but wants something effortless for meetings, signatures and travel.

Who it is for

The Graf von Faber-Castell Bloom Ebony Wood rollerball is ideal for writers who love a smooth, fountain-pen-like line without the need to fill a pen, and for professionals who want a statement pen for signing contracts and letters. It is also a lovely companion to the Ebony Wood Bloom fountain pen, so you can enjoy the same design with two writing experiences.

Caring for natural wood

Wood has a long history at Graf von Faber-Castell, whose most famous pens have used precious woods for decades. Because wood is a natural material, the grain, tone and figure of every barrel are different, so no two Bloom pens are exactly alike. Over the years, the wood will gain a soft sheen from the natural oils of your hand. To keep it beautiful, wipe it with a dry, soft cloth, keep it away from water, strong heat and direct sunlight for long periods, and store it in its case or a pen pouch when you travel.

Styling the Ebony Wood Bloom

Ebony Wood RT suits a dark, minimalist style: black leather, charcoal suits, dark wood desks and steel watches. It is a powerful choice for a senior executive, a lawyer or an architect, and it looks spectacular in a pen case beside other black-and-silver pens.

A gift worth giving

This pen makes a thoughtful gift for students, professionals and anyone who still enjoys writing by hand. Unlike most gifts, a good pen is used every day and often kept for decades. It is a popular choice for birthdays, Diwali, anniversaries, new jobs and corporate occasions, and it comes in the original brand packaging.

Pair it with good paper

Paper matters as much as the pen. A smooth, well-sized paper lets your pen glide, keeps your writing crisp and shows off the colour of your ink. Explore our range of notebooks, journals and pads to complete your writing set.
