Rainbow pencils from Duncan Shotton
Everyone uses pencils, from designers toarchitects to the unemployed and housewives. A simple pencil can always be found in a home where there are creative adults and, especially, children of all ages. English designer Duncan Shotton, who has a small design studio in Tokyo, was looking for ways to improve such a standardized product as a pencil, without interfering with its basic functions, but at the same time bringing people more joy and pleasure when using it. This is how rainbow pencils appeared.
Rainbow pencils function like regular pencilsWooden pencils are the same size and weight, but they are not made of wood, but rather layers of recycled paper. In the United States alone, over 7 million cubic feet of wood are used each year to make pencils. If this project is widely used, it would prevent trees from being cut down and effectively use the paper for recycling. Each pencil is made of six layers of paper, each colored in a rainbow of colors (blue and blue combined in one layer). The final layer is the outer layer, which is either white or black. Since the finish is made of pressed paper, the appearance of each pencil is not as perfect as its factory-made counterparts, but this is what gives it its individuality and uniqueness.
Well, the most interesting thing about rainbow pencils isthis is the process of sharpening them. With the help of an ordinary sharpener, you can make hundreds of small rainbows that will definitely not leave anyone indifferent. It will even be a pity to throw away such bright shavings, and you will want to use the pencil more often, so that you can sharpen it more often!
Rainbow pencils are available for purchase atlimited quantity, and the cost of the designer set is not small. So for offices and children's institutions it is better to buy standard stationery - http://agat97.com.ua/!
