Pencils are hard to use if they are shortened, and often thought to be wasteful thoughtful.


"Sprout" gives the possibility to such a shortened pencil. This is the designer'sMario BolliniMr. is.


Put a shortened pencil in the soil ......


Just pour the pencil and OK. Water melts protective capsules and activates seeds.


It is said that seeds germinate in about a week.


I will grow up quickly.




Understandably understanding it is such a feeling that the plant seeds are contained in the pencil's buttocks and flowers will bloom in the office and the desk of their own room soon after planting in the pot after use.


The pencil is rustic design.


He says "I have seeds".


There are 22 seeds, tomatoes, basil, coriander, radish etc in all.


It often happens that an eraser is attached to the pencil's butt, so it is not easy to erase the eraser attached to the pencil, so you can not attach an eraser, you put three seeds of plants per pencil It is.


Before shortening, of course you can use it as a normal pencil.
