The collection plunges young and old alike into Haring’s visual universe, with his celebrated silhouettes and symbols.

For colouring: we’ve designed two new art sets. One contains 10 watercolour pencils and a black Fibralo Brush felt-tip pen; the other 40 watercolour pencils and 42 watercolour wax pastels.
In stationery: Haring’s artwork enlivens the cover of a dotted-page notebook and fills a20-page colouring pad.

DRAWING, WRITING AND COLOURING FROM THE POP-ART UNIVERSE OF KEITH HARING
Ecridor pays tribute
The Keith Haring Ecridor ballpoint penglows with style, allure and exception. Its design pays tribute to the artist’s famous 1980s chalk drawings on the walls of the New York subway. In a play of brilliance and contrast, deeply engraved characters pattern the pen’s platinum finish. The Keith Haring signature is etched next to the clip. The other side can be personalised with your own engraving.
Accompanying the pen is a smooth, black cowhide leather pen pouch embossed with one of Haring’s signature characters. The pouch features a red embellishment stitch and interior lining, and white edge paint. The pen and pouch are both housed in a red collector's tin bearing the Caran d'Ache + Keith Haring logo.
This luxury writing instrument is a must-have for journaling and correspondence, even as it serves as a reminder to stand up for equality.
The 849 ballpoint pen duo: a celebration of love
With two new playful 849 ballpoint pens, Caran d'Ache celebrates the values of love and creativity that Keith Haring represented. The first, in white satin finish, is an ode to love, featuring his iconic heart. The second, in matt black, is covered with chalk-white sketches of Haring's emblematic characters.
Each refillable pen comes in a protective bright-red tin. Fans of Haring’s message will find this unusual gift at once stylish, meaningful and long-lasting.
The dotted notebook: for self-expression, Keith Haring style
In homage to the legend, Caran d'Ache has designed a Keith Haring notebook. Its hardback cover displays Haring’s popular figures. Inside are 120 pages in A5 size, printed with a dotted grid. The notebook is ideal for journaling, brainstorming, and practising geometric shapes, calligraphy, or working with the bright colours in Haring’s palette.
Pair this notebook with one of the 849 ballpoint pens in the collection. Then all you need is gift wrap!
A rainbow of art supplies for collectors
Of course, the Keith Haring collection also has something for those who like to be more colourful. We are inaugurating two new colouring sets.
The first set comprises 42 Neocolor® II Aquarelle watercolour wax pastels and 40 watercolour pencils with exclusive Caran d'Ache + Keith Haring silver hot stamping. From light yellow, to carmine and ultramarine blue, this luminous set of colours is destined for bold drawings and illustrations. The pastels and pencils can be applied dry or wet, making them excellent for exploring new ways of working with watercolour. Create a whole range of effects by using them with other tools and accessories, such as water reservoir brushes, a watercolour palette, a chalk holder or a scraper.
The second set is more mobile and condensed. It comprises 10 watercolour pencils and a black Fibralo Brush fibre-tipped pen that echoes Keith Haring's iconic black outlines. Packaged in a reusable, easy-to-transport red metal tin, these 2-in-1 pencils can also be applied wet or dry and are enjoyable at any age.
These two high-quality assortments make exceptional gifts. See what the rainbow inspires in you!
