Though pens have become the favored writing tool, the Pocket Pencil would still be a very useful piece of stationary to have on hand. Not only does it rest firmly and conveniently in one's pocket, this revamped pencil also looks rather professional in its simple design.
Created by Alex Hulme, the Pocket Pencil features a clever notch at the top so that it can slide over the lip of a pocket. Sold for six euros, these pencils were produced in limited quantities.
