STAEDTLER celebrates 125 years of iconic Noris pencil with London pop-up

STAEDTLER is celebrating 125 years of its iconic Noris pencil with an interactive pop-up experience in London.

The Noris brand, first registered in 1901, has become synonymous with its distinctive yellow-and-black striped design and has remained a familiar feature of pencil cases and classrooms for generations.

The anniversary event, taking place on 10 September 2026, will invite visitors to step inside the world of Noris, combining the brand’s heritage with creativity and interactive experiences.

The celebration marks more than a century of the Noris pencil, which has evolved over the years to include a wider range of creative and educational products, while retaining its instantly recognisable design.

STAEDTLER is also marking the anniversary with promotional packs and a competition giving consumers the chance to win a Golden Noris pencil.

The brand says the milestone celebrates Noris’ enduring appeal across generations and its continued role in encouraging writing, learning and creativity.
