Writing about Viarco seems like an almost impossible task for someone who knows from the start that they are unable to put into words the full importance of this factory. It’s a world of its own, a place steeped in history, where time has stopped but, at the same time, is full of research and experimentation, modernity and innovation.
The pencil, its manufactured object, is the quintessential tool with which we all begin learning cycles, essential for artistic expression, written language, mathematics, and music. It is a common object in our lives since childhood and, despite being intimate, often goes unnoticed.
Visiting Viarco is about recognizing the importance of the simple things in our lives, through a magical journey into the world of pencils. It is a place of pedagogy for children, teaching and imparting values, a place of influence and residence for artists, of industrial museology, of wonder and admiration.
However, at the same time, it is an industry. A creative industry that fosters talent for the development of new products and creates opportunities for those it engages with, in a logic of shared wealth.
Since 2007, Viarco has been continuously launching innovative materials on the global market, the result of many collaborations, experiences, and friendships. That is why Viarco continues—and will continue—to be a company with its doors open to welcome them.
