The Concrete Sketch Pencil is one heavy duty stationery supply. This mechanical pencil is actually made out of hand-poured concrete and metal. Although it might tire out the writer or drawer's hand faster, it does provide a unique writing tool to use. Considering pen and paper may soon be a dying art form in itself, the Concrete Sketch Pencil provides yet another gimmick that may keep the tradition alive for a little bit longer.
Created by 22 Design Studio, which was founded by Sean Yu and Yiting Cheng, the Concrete Sketch Pencil uses soft 2B lead, which is especially perfect for sketching and drawing. The use of cement also provides a great balance in the hand.
