Savoir Faire’s illustrious manufacturers and products include:

Sennelier made an extremely significant contribution to artists with the development of soft pastels à l’écu, an incredibly soft, intense color medium handmade from pure pigments. The original color range and pigment selections - many of which still exist today - were developed for and with Edgar Degas. Later, the company’s world famous oil pastels were developed specifically for Picasso, who requested a versatile tool he could use to draw with on any surface, and in a color palette chosen to be close to the one he used for his oils.
