details
A beautifully considered set of 12 colored pencils made in Japan by Kitaboshi for Hot Cool Tokyo — proof that even a humble pencil can be a very satisfying object.
Inside the slim silver tin are 10 distinctive colors plus metallic gold and silver, all in round natural-wood barrels. The pencils are smooth and comfortable in the hand, while the compact metal case has a clever push-opening mechanism that makes the whole set unusually portable.
Part of what you’re paying for here is the collaboration itself: Kitaboshi is a specialist Japanese pencil maker, and Hot Cool Tokyo is known for seeking out beautifully made, often hard-to-find Japanese tools and stationery. Add the custom color palette, quality wood construction, and reusable metal case and this becomes much more than a basic box of colored pencils.
Made for sketching, marking, journaling, travel, or simply keeping on the desk for whatever idea shows up next.
