The Design of a Pencil

on

3 basic purposes of designed artefacts:

  1. Commodity - Functional
  2. Firmness - Structural integrity
  3. Delight - Aesthetic

This pencil is given out to conference guests by the Exclusive Collection Hotels.


During one of the first lectures for the unit, we were asked to bring in something that encompasses the meaning of 'well - designed'.

I brought in this pencil.

It functions very well as a pencil, has the structural integrity of any other pencil and I like it not only for the simpleness of its design but also because it reflects my own values of 'being green'.
