Squares and cubes are classic examples of geometry in its purest form, and have long featured in the works of architects and artists. For the adornment of the 2002 edition of its "Hexagonal" Collections, the Swiss manufacturer Caran d'Ache has developed a new engraving pattern baptized "Cubes". Straight vertical and horizontal grooves are engraved on the six faces of each of the four writing instruments and on the front and back of the lighter, forming a succession of squares. The top of each square is satin-finished and this, together with the depth of the grooves, creates the impression of "cubes". The name of the design is derived from the engraving pattern.
