Hum… It´s a bit… Hum… Sexual?
Not getting the sexual part…other than the beaver/pencil puns? But anyway, I want to buy it! Can’t find it on the Alessi site…
Fabulous – I do hope it makes a loud “chomping” sounds as it munches on the pencil,
Sleek, happy desk art. I want to buy one, too.
[Some people would see sexy in a desiccated pizza crust. Get a life!]
Incredibly beautiful design.
I want one to. seriously. dont be such a tease-send us ordering info.
The most beautiful pencil sharpener I have ever seen. PS Marnie – you are too funny (& correct)
cute
Really cool! How can I get one of these?
Funny how some people accuse others of seeing sexual stuff everywhere, but get all offended by it… Sex is part of life, sorry if you dont get enough, but like you said, get a life.
Definitely happy, playful and i want to buy too!!
What a great piece, how can I get one or two or three. Super gift idea!!
They already have stock at the Alessi shop in Brook street… it’s very cute!
Add zing to the work desk, the first glance you cast
Has Alessi officially become a toy company?
Sleek beautiful design and I’d like to buy one very much.
An excellent choice for any gift giver and might I add Canadian’s would buy this without thinking twice about it. After all the beaver is their national emblem.
I would have incorporated something special with the tail. Don’t want to discuss it openly but contact me and then I’ll tell you.
