A PENCIL
A pencil resembles a seed. While it has a specific form in its current state, as a tool to perceive, represent, and communicate, it has been giving birth to humankind’s ideas and structures.
UNIQUE PERSONAL OBJECT VERSUS MASS PRODUCTION
The key idea behind HA Pencils is to develop unique varieties of an object personalized for different people. This is in contrast with mass produced objects, which either assume identical users or target the lowest common denominator of people. The slow production of handmade HA Pencils makes it possible to explore more complex interplays of form, material and user/creator. HA Pencils aim to create a sense of attachment to a personal creativity tool that invites the users/creators to discover their new angles.
