WHY
PENCIL LIFE EXTENSION
WASTE OF GOOD PENCIL
About half of the produced pencils is tossed aside.. the stump that is - good pencil stumps made of wood and graphite.
New life to the old stump.
EXTENDING PRODUCT LIFE
EXTRA PURPOSE
Easy extension and no new production - all done by hand in the woodshop in the back yard.
Joining a graphite pencil with a colored, adds an extra purpose to the product.
ORDER
Rescued pencils joined for a second life

ORDERS ON REQUEST
PENCIL LIFE EXTENSION
If this was a fairytale, by our own Hans Christian Andersen, the pencil stumps would fear when its length would reach 8 or 10 cm. Then it would end up in the darkest corner of the drawer and never to be held again.
FEAR NOT, TINY STUMPS...
Two pencil stumps joined to extend the product lifetime.
Made by Lone Ørum - and I'm a pencil nerd - I just take joy in a good pencil.
I always have a notebook at hand, and I needed a pencil that I could use as a normal sketch or note pencil and as a highlighter, of the things I need to get done or take extra notis of, when revisiting the sketch.
I had a great one with a neon yellow highlighter, but I found it hard to see the bright yellow, so I rummaged through the drawers and found A LOT of stumps of colored pencils that would fit perfect for my needs... the rest is history ;-)
As almost always, products are born out of a need.
Hope you'll enjoy Stumpps as much as I making them .
Best, Lone Ørum
