Mary Van Puymbroeck — May 17, 2017 — Art & Design
Created by Duncan Shotton Design Studio, these planetary push pins are a fun way to add interest to a cork board.
What originated as a Kickestarker campaign has turned into a product back-ordered until August 2017. Each pin is "moulded in the UK over german-made, black steel pins, then sent to Tokyo where they are painstakingly brush painted by hand and assembled into their serial-numbered, polished-acrylic display cases." The meticulous care are attention to detail in these pins has continued even past the initial Kickstarter campaign.
Also available is a single hand-painted moon pin made in Taiwan. The couple behind these planetary push pins is known in the design and Kickstarter communities. Their fun designs like rainbow pencils and fun sticky page-markers also hold a similar fun-loving aesthetic.
