more commentsto me it is art in itself
I don’t think this warrants discussion. Its just nice.
as a stationery addict would love to have it in my room but waiting 20 MONTHS? are you serious?? and whats the price?
for decoration fabulous, for drawing: inferior pencil quality! cancelled after first shipment.
great..!
Great visual effect, not very practical though… and I guess real art comes when you decide to move out and unmount these from the wall : plenty of coloured random traces when pencils are gone 😉
