When developing our products, we pay attention to every detail – because details make the difference.

Characterised by a love of the product, functional details, outstanding quality and a wide range of colours, what LEUCHTTURM1917 stands for – above all – is a clear design language, which has won many awards.

At LEUCHTTURM1917 we are led by a our conviction: thoughts grow into words, sentences and pictures. Memories become stories. Ideas are transformed into projects. Notes inspire insight. We write and understand, learn, see and think – with the hand.

Characterised by a love of the product, LEUCHTTURM1917 has developed a brand philosophy which is that everyone discovers and develops their character and their own ideas through writing by hand. The result of this conviction is the guiding principle of LEUCHTTURM1917: Denken mit der Hand.

* Writing by hand is thinking on paper. Thoughts grow into words, sentences and pictures.
Memories become stories. Ideas are transformed into projects.
Notes inspire insight.

We write and understand, learn, see and think – with the hand.
