Who else could better master the challenge of manufacturing the Graf von Faber-Castell Pen of the Year than the Amber Room's restorers!  In 1755, this architectural masterpiece was installed in the Catherine Palace near St Petersburg and it was soon called the "eighth wonder of the word". The Amber Room has been missing from the Second World War on. In order to recreate this showpiece in its old splendor, the best artists and architects were selected in Russia. It was the master craftsman and head of the workshop, Boris Igdalov, who personally took care of the creation of the Graf von Faber-Castell Pen of the Year 2004 fountain pen.

Amber, that is mostly gleaming in a bright or golden yellow, reminds us of the sun. The sometimes dark and sometimes bright but always warm colour lends the stone its special beauty.
