The Schmincke Soft Pastel Luxury Wooden Box 1930s Retro Set of 48 forms part of the Schmincke Retro Collection, a series of special edition sets inspired by original packaging designs found in the brand’s 1930s archives. Housed in a walnut-stained beech wooden box with elegant brass fittings, the set includes 48 soft pastels presented in two removable wooden inserts, with additional space for accessories. A leather carrying handle and a cloth featuring the 1930s owl motif complete the presentation.

Schmincke Soft Pastels are made using only the purest, medium fine ground pigments in the highest possible concentration, with minimal binding agent to ensure a stable yet exceptionally soft artists’ pastel. Produced according to traditional recipes and without the use of heavy machinery, these pastels offer outstanding color intensity and a smooth, velvety application.
