Pencil Works #00 – #09

A celebration of one of the most ubiquitous every day tools

This series of “pencil works” is inspired by the many secondary uses that people sometimes put these simple little devices to and focuses on developing a range of products that build real secondary functions by way of additional components.

Taking visual cues from classic woodworking tools, each simple pencil is fitted with a threaded brass ferrule that accepts a tool from the series – cut, file, measure or mark.
