La matita rossa

20 young designers at the faculty of Design and Art of the Libera Università di Bolzano re-interpreted the simple function of the pencil sharpener.

Luca Mantenuto, Finn Icky

Claudio Larcher, Eugenia Morpurgo and Alvise Mattozzi coordinated 20 young designers from the faculty of Design and Art of the Free University of Bolzano to re-interpret the simple function of the pencil sharpener.

Expanding on the well known tactile experience they developed new gestures. This results in new forms and materials to playfully achieve a new route to the same result – a perfectly sharpened pencil.
