The prettiest? The finest? The most elegant? You’ll find that all here, on Modulor’s new wall of pencils. A whopping 500,000 pieces are waiting to be discovered. This makes the wall not only the most colorful in the city, but quite possibly the largest pencil wall in the world. At three meters high and 23 meters long, writing instruments in every shape and color line up at Modulor on Moritzplatz. Over 25 brands from around the globe are represented: Faber-Castell, Molotow, Stabilo, Staedtler, and many more. Find ultrafine liners for those who want every detail just right, markers for bold strokes, or exotic models designed to impress. Personally, I have a soft spot for Micron’s super-fine Japanese pens and Caran d’Ache watercolor pencils — nostalgic childhood memories of elegant aluminum boxes my Swiss relatives gifted me, like little treasure chests. Of course, the Modulor pencil wall also features exquisite fountain pens, for words that linger. Speaking of which, anyone who has always wanted a Japanese Kaweco fountain pen will have the chance on Saturday (11.10.2025) to assemble their own in the exclusive “Emerald” special color (a model not available in stores). And that’s just part of the program for the unveiling of this new highlight at Aufbauhaus.
Hand-lettering artist Sabine Meisinger will demonstrate what’s possible with markers. For those seeking something more precise, Hovhannes Ghahramanyan’s workshop demonstrate how compasses and pens can create incredibly detailed graphic patterns. There are also limited Riso art prints by Sina Schlerf (first come, first served!) to take home. And yes, there are prizes to be won too. It’s a great opportunity to visit Kreuzberg’s creative department store and get hands-on with analog tools, bringing all those ideas swirling in your head onto paper. Testing the pens on-site is part of the concept, the expert advice from the Modulor team. So the only question left is: what type of pen person are you? Will you dive into the action on Saturday, or take your time to find “the one” pen that’s perfect for you? Either way, there are still around 40,000 other products at Modulor ready to make your life a little brighter.
