Breakaway Packagingless Hexamine Pencils

Laurence Grégoire created a unique and sustainable way to package (colored) pencils. By using the product itself as the packaging, she was able to eliminate waste and create something visually beautiful.

The wooden pencils are lined up and bound together requiring the simple act of breaking them apart for them to be functional.

Very clever. Eliminating packaging costs while at the same time making something somatically engaging like this is very clever indeed.

About

I design video games for a living, write fiction, political theory and poetry for personal amusement, and train regularly in Western European 16th century swordwork. On frequent occasion I have been known to hunt for and explore abandoned graveyards, train tunnels and other interesting places wherever I may find them, but there is absolutely no truth to the rumor that I am preparing to set off a zombie apocalypse. Nothing that will stand up in court, at least. I use paranthesis with distressing frequency, have a deep passion for history, anthropology and sociological theory, and really, really, really hate mayonnaise. But I wash my hands after the writing. Promise.
