Pencil Jacket

To play with concepts, with the image, with the function, simply to play, is part of the process to find new forms and new lives for the traditional materials that surround us.

The pencil, it does not exist without a support where to fix, has to be transported, sharp, can be erased and always depends on the interaction and the human will to realize itself, As a pencil factory, Viarco thinks drawing, but it is in this universe more we now seek to include our vision, thinking something new, distinctive, original to those who dwell in it.

From the partnership / friendship with Belcinto, a local company producing leather goods, the first fruits are born, designed exclusively for the transport and packaging of Viarco pencils.

Several designs were tried out, mixed ideas, played with fashion and aesthetic sense, and so the Pencil Jacket was discovered, a leather case that turns into a holder to make it easier to pick up the pencil.

A curious article, which when closed, seems to have a more formal style, making an allusion to a fact, and when opened, the case resembles, at all, a coat. It is this metamorphic side of the object that promotes manipulation and touch, a result of the process from which it appeared.

In vegetable tanning leather, 3 vintage pencils included.
Various colors available.
