Details: Designers Luka Or and Keren Tomer asked third year industrial design students from the Holon Institute of Technology (HIT) to re-think the idea of a pencil, each student in his own way.

HIT student Ofra Oberman created a series of brush pencils designed for a new and more flowing sketching experience.

Say Or and Tomer, “The everyday useful object was reinterpreted in eighteen different ways giving it new functions, shapes and meanings. The results include a collection of new and intriguing pencils including a tube pencil, a series of pencil brushes, a pencil dedicated for fashion pattern making, a letter stamping pencil and more.”

Each brush enables a different pencil stroke.

The tube-pencil by HIT student Yam Amir borrows the mechanics of a tube to re think the “sharpening process”.

HIT student Evgeny Barkov took inspiration from prehistoric carving tools to create these wood and polymer color pencils for writing and carving.

Roller pencils by student Noy Meiri were specifically designed to be used for fashion pattern making.

This stamp-pencil by student Gal Yacobi has merged the pencil with another object – the stamp, creating a hybrid for writing letters and sealing them.

Student Yael Hasid created the +- set of pencils for writing and erasing.

HIT student Eitan Bercovich designed the fairy pencil for children writing a letter to the tooth fairy.
