The main concept behind Penxo was simplicity. They asked theirselves how they could reduce a conventional mechanical lead pencil into its elements and eliminate all the finicky mechanical parts. Next, they challenged theirselves to solve problems that have plagued designers for years, such as how to release the lead faster; how to make it easier to tell which lead is loaded in the pencil without the need to unload the lead, peer through a semi-translucent window, or use spinning knob indicators commonly found on drafting pencils; and how to conveniently monitor lead usage. With such challenges in mind, they went through numerous designs and concept sketches before arriving at ‘Penxo’. The Penxo is beautifully simple, stylish and unique in its handling. The simplistic design eliminates the springs, buttons, and mechanical parts found in conventional mechanical pencils. Precision milled from a single block of aircraft grade aluminium.
