Blackwing

The Blackwing story starts with a pencil, but it doesn’t end there. They are a team of writers, artists, musicians, designers, and DIYers who think the world is a little bit better when you slow down. They believe that thoughtful interaction with the world around us leads to a healthier life. That interaction may come from scribbling a thought in your journal, flipping through the dusty pages of a familiar book, or listening to the warm tone of your favourite record. No matter what form it takes, there's something profoundly human about it that's in our DNA.

They believe they are not the only ones who feel this way. There’s research to back it up and, more importantly, there’s a worldwide movement towards living mindfully. They are doing what they can to inspire people to unplug and find some balance in their fast-paced digital lives. They tell stories and make thoughtfully designed pencils, notebooks, and tools.
