Sticking to today's theme of art based on things you use to draw with. I stumbled upon this piece of furniture designed with a traditional style pencil. BOEX, an interior design company, are the people responsible for this quirky bench. They spawned this idea after having a conversation about whether or not if they could incorporate an everyday office object into a piece of furniture and as you guys can see they succeeded. This design is such as success it's already won two awards.
The seat of the bench is actually made up of 1600 pencils and the best part about it is that the PENCILS CAN ACTUALLY BE REMOVED AND USED. One thing I would like to do with it is much like the crayon paitning from the last post which is to turn the pencils upside down so that the lead is sticking out rub it through a piece of paper then turn the pencils around again so that the eraser shows up and erase the scribbles I made on the paper using all 1600 pecils, or rather the whole bench, of course.Check out their site: BOEX
