Tomáš Král's & Camille Blin's 'Monster'

The 'Monster Collection' for OKOLO is an incredible collection of pencil cases by Slovakian-born, Swiss-based product designer  Tomáš Král in collaboration with Swiss designer Camille Blin. The set contains a case for four pencils, a wooden block for storing writing utensils & a minimalist leather bag. Okolo has also equipped the first case with four coloured Koh-i-noor pencils. Yum.









"This collection was named Monster after our chance encounter with a vertical shaper in the woodworking shop of Joseph Miele. After many weeks of mutual observation, communication was finally established. Each one of our objects is sculpted by each of its jaws. We have rendered the shape of its teeth to enclose some pencils. We have rendered the strength of its teeth with a black screw to lock in some pencils. We have rendered its skin to make a bag." Král & Blin
