'24K pencil' by daisung kim
gold is currently at the highest price it has ever been.
korean designer daisung kim has sent us images of his new design '24K pencil'.
hand crafted, the surface of the pencil is carefully plated with a thin layer
of actual 99% pure gold.

what a joke
stupid as no brainer!
I bet Abramovich use that for contracts
I dont know what’s this thing’s purpose
but I cant convince myself that ‘this thing is designed’
What the hell is this?
Great idea and great packaging.
what a waste!
the “designer” has too much spare time and resources.
cool design
“Let them eat pencils!”
would you save the shavings after sharpening the pencil? This could potentially ask ppl to rethink value of waste…?
Great Idea, but I saw the project only a design format.
It should be in the art posts, and not design. Well, at least then somebody would buy this shit as art, but, as design…no way!
Only slightly more useful than the gold brick, or pet rock.
mm…worst or waste
It takes a lot of energy and hard work to get gold out of the ground – I imagine the user would recycle the gold. Otherwise this is a stupid wasteful idea.
Even if we are to believe that this is an attempt to highlight the waste problem, it is a clumsy attempt at best. Design is not a vehicle for public comment, it is a way of making the world better.
He should try to make something, not just an argument.
There is no purpose on this. A complete waste of this elegant material…
