Nº 7 | Midori Brass Pencil Holder
|
|
This Midori Brass Pencil is made of solid brass and is remarkable in its design. It consists of two parts. When "closed" the pencil resembles a bullet casing and measures 98mm. When "opened" it measures 149mm, which fits like a glove. A glove to write with that is. The Midori Brass Pencil has a somewhat nostalgic feeling which makes you want to use it for years and years, as if it is something you cannot bear to part with. The longer you use your Midori Brass Pencil, your brass products age beautifully and develop different textures until they somehow become part of you. Brass, an alloy of copper and zinc, has its own adorable gloss, and has been used in architecture, furniture and hardware, art and craftworks, etc., since antiquity. Over the years, its surface oxidizes to become a deep, tender color hue worthy of long appreciation. Some brass pens are painted, but the paint gradually fades as you use the pen, until the pen's brass appears to show its one-of-a-kind color hue. |
