With all sorts of elegant, extravagant, limited edition pens sweeping us off our feet, it was about time the graceful wooden pencil got a design upgrade, too. It’s not really as humble as you’d imagine it to be—the pencil is the tool of choice for some of the most creative minds. So the pencil+ comes as a more-than-pleasant surprise now: in the words of its creators, this is “The last sharpener, extender, eraser and holder your pencil will ever need.” Confused? Well, this is an ingenious multitool for your writing instrument, which extends any length/type of pencil to its full size, so you can use it until its very tiniest or “until it retires at 14mm.” Interestingly, the pencil+ has an integrated sharpener and a hidden eraser too. What’s more, it gives you a delightful array of wood selections to choose from — beautiful, fine woods, like teak, ebony, wild olive, African padauk or Indonesian redwood. Hooked? You will soon be able to pre-order these at Kickstarter.
