Pencil Bench

Stemming from a single conversation to see if we could incorporate an everyday office object into a piece of furniture, we designed this quirky bench. It ended up causing quite a stir across the design world, scooping two awards for Boex 3D Creative Solutions and being featured in a number of national magazines including Design Week and Grazia.

The seat is made up of 1,600 pencils which are individually sprung. Each pencil can be removed and used.
