Carioca Plus Solid Watercolor

Carioca Plus is a premium line of art supplies from the historic Italian brand Carioca. This specific product features a collaboration with Van Orton Design, a creative duo from Turin known for their vibrant, pop-culture-inspired geometric art, which gives the packaging its distinctive stained-glass look.

Originally founded in the 1950s under Universal S.p.A., Carioca has been a cornerstone of the Italian writing and coloring industry for decades. The brand is headquartered in Settimo Torinese, Italy, which is widely considered one of the most significant districts for writing instruments globally. While the company maintains a strong local manufacturing presence with approximately 70% of its production occurring in Italy, it also operates a subsidiary in Spain and distributes its products to over 80 countries worldwide. Today, Carioca S.p.A. remains an independent Italian entity committed to sustainable manufacturing and fostering creativity in artists of all ages.
