About the Federleicht project
The Federleicht project is a creative experiment that looks at the future of writing. Stefan Schneegab, co-founder and director of the project, aims to reshape the future of writing and change the way we write on paper.
The Federleicht project consists of various experiments and workshops aimed at exploring and developing new writing concepts and technologies. The goal is to find a forward-looking technology that allows people to write and draw in a fun and intuitive way.
The Featherlight project is also a collaboration of experts from different fields such as design, computer science and artificial intelligence. By sharing ideas and knowledge, the project aims to grow and find new ways to reinvent writing on paper.
- Creative experimentation – the project is exploring the future of writing and developing new ideas and technologies

- Expert collaboration – the project brings together experts from different fields to discuss and develop new writing concepts
Project Featherlight celebrates the day of the pencil
The pencil is a tool that many people cannot imagine everyday life without. But why is it so important? Stefan Schneegab, project manager of Federleicht, explains that it’s not just about the practical function of the pencil, but also about the pleasure it can bring to writing and drawing.
In addition to the creative potential offered by the pencil, there is also an ecological aspect. Compared to other writing tools, such as the ballpoint pen, the pencil is more environmentally friendly because it is easier to recycle.
The history of the pencil is also interesting. At the beginning of the 19th century. At the end of the 19th century, the pencil was produced on a larger scale for the first time, leading to a revolution in the stationery market. Since then, the pencil has continued to evolve and become a symbol of creativity and productivity.
- Although there are many more modern writing tools available today, the pencil remains an important part of our daily lives.
- So Pencil Day should be used as an opportunity to celebrate pencil writing and drawing and to remember how important and versatile this tool really is.
The Featherlight project and Pencil Day
Pencil Day – an annual event organized by the Faber-Castell Group – is all about the importance of the pencil as a vital tool in the creative workplace. In the interview, Stefan Schneegab – an employee at the Federleicht project – talks about the idea behind the project and how it relates to the pencil.
The Federleicht project, launched by TU Berlin, enables people with physical disabilities to draw again with the help of modern technology and specially adapted pencils. The pencil plays an important role in this context as a basic tool to bring back the joy of drawing.
- the Federleicht project creates an inclusive environment for people with physical disabilities;
- the most modern technology enables the re-access to creativity;
- the pencil is used as an indispensable basic tool;
- Pencil Day is used to highlight the important role of the pencil.

Pencil Day is therefore used in this context to draw attention to the important role of the pencil – not only as a tool, but also as a form of expression – and to support the Federleicht project.
