felissimo’s 500 colored pencil set for social designer
designed by felissimo for social designer this complete set of 500 colored pencils consists
of 20 units, each pencil telling its own story with a unique name. you cannot buy the complete
set of pencils all at once, but you can receive them over the course of 20 months.
four different display methods let you keep your pencils at hand, while being displayed either
as an artwork, or kept aside as a special collection. the cases have been designed especially
for the 500 colored pencils and are available in a limited edition.
social designer promotes crowdsourced design for good causes.

showcasing the range colors in their entirety.

Yeah totally.... at like 10 times the price.
Feh.
It's a pretty cool idea, but how is anyone going to not mess up the order?
Agreed. xD
The delightful part of this work is how it merges the idea of the platonic beauty of a chromatic spread, with the symbolic beauty of the pencil as an artistic medium, and (if you choose to use the pencils) the very visible degredation of human use.
Furthermore, to the person who said that coloured pencil should be the medium & not the artwork; Coloured pencil is the medium here. In creating the work, the pencils are arranged. It's just as real an aesthetic choice as rubbing the pencils on a piece of paper.
So lovely, fresh & vibrant!
Thanks for posting.

stupid idea
art fail
now on the idea of useing the actual pencils they would have to be good pencils otherwise just go buy your own set...like derwent or something...
the idea of putting pencils on a wall is great but its hardly a huge step forward as an idea we put books on a shelf and now pencils...an artist media library seen it before already do it by meself...not dissing the idea though....good luck in selling them
I can't believe all the nasty comments about hating this idea. I feel sad for those people. Why even bother to comment it your not going to contribute.
And don't bother to comment on my comment as I'm sure I'll never come back to this site and read these posts again so keep all the petty comments to yourself.
