We work with all our 16,000 products every day, and some have become real go-to’s we simply can’t be without. Now we’ve gathered our personal favourites, ranging from unexpected gems to brands we’re especially fond of. Perhaps they’ll become your future favourites too?

Amanda

Landscapes and nature in watercolour

Peaceful landscapes, urban settings and animals in watercolour. Right now, it’s Amanda’s biggest source of inspiration. Self-taught and passionate, she has painted all her life and loves exploring, both in sketchbooks and on loose sheets.

Andreas

Design classics and stylish details

Stylish details, smart tools and perfect design. As a designer with an eye for aesthetics, Andreas loves products that combine function and style. Design classics and well-crafted packaging are what Andreas adds to his basket.

Louise 

The art of letters

Creative place cards, handmade postcards and playful everyday notes. Louise has a whole colourful stash of brush pens and fineliners, both at home and on her desk. She happily takes every opportunity to embellish and decorate letters.

Anton 

Durable gear for outdoor adventures

Notebooks that withstand rain, pens that can handle rough use and practical accessories for life outdoors. Anton always chooses products that stand up to the elements and make it easy to capture thoughts and ideas in the open air.

Madeleine 

Crafting with the whole family

Cut, glue, bead, paint, mould, tape, fold, smudge. No weekend is ever the same when Saturday crafting begins at Madeleine’s with her two children. The kitchen table turns into a creative corner, constantly being topped up with new materials for the whole family.

Olivia 

Colourful illustrations

As an illustrator, Olivia is looking for materials with character, pigments that pop and paper that handle layer upon layer. She works with watercolour, ink and opaque paints to create contrasts and strong expressions.

Martin 

Urban sketching and travel journals

Spontaneous sketches and memories from every corner of the world. Martin loves discovering new places and jotting down memories from each one in his travel journal. His favourite pens and sketchbooks are, of course, always in the bag.

Maria 

Pattern repeats with hand-painted motifs

Purple, turquoise, magenta and deep sapphire green are the colours that dance through Maria’s patterns. It begins with brushstrokes in watercolour, before taking on new life in Photoshop where everything is assembled into beautiful pattern repeats.

Angelica 

Mixed media and expressive painting

Creating should be colourful, free and full of feeling. Angelica loves to mix watercolour, gouache, charcoal and ink, experimenting with granulating colours and unexpected combinations to bring her artworks to life with personality.

Vilmer 

Design clothes with upcycling

Why buy new when you can remake what you have? That’s Vilmer’s motto as he cuts, sews, dyes and draws on clothes to create his style. His favourites include fabric dyes for the washing machine and top acrylic markers.

Jacob 

Handpicked from Japan

Ramen, kimonos and green tea have their charm, but it’s the pens, the design and the thoughtful details that have truly captured our hearts. Jacob has gathered a selection of his personal favourites from Pen Store’s Japanese collection.

Alice

A passion for paper

Paper is not just a surface, it sets the tone for your creativity. Texture, weight and finish all influence both the outcome and the creative process when you write, sketch, paint or draw. Alice guides you through sheets, pads and books.
