On Kickstarter, Colorful Rainbow Pencils

Yes, properly, who wouldn’t want to look down at pencil shavings and find rainbows? British-born, Tokyo-primarily based designer Duncan Shotton has conceived of this fanciful notion with the invention of Rainbow Pencils, presently seeking funding by way of Kickstarter. “I was seeking at ways in which, without having interfering with its simple function, I could boost such a standardized, accepted product to make folks happier when they use it,” he says about the 6-colour recycled paper pencils. And, it’s clear, he’s hit a nerve with rainbow seekers: a mere 6 days into Rainbow Pencils’ funding period, Kickstarter has yielded much more than twice the project’s funding purpose.
