Looking sharp + keeping pencils sharp

konik_1

Now here’s a sharpener you won’t hide away in your stationery drawer… or maybe you will because someone might steal it! Simple, minimal, and functional, the Konik electric sharpener looks like a beautifully designed yet almost un-designed product you would show off on your table. It rests on top of any tumbler or container while shredding/sharpening your pencil till perfection. All the waste collects in the container below and can be easily disposed of. Am I the only one here feeling sad that this pretty thing is just a concept?
