the pencil rack

The age-old practice of storing pencils in a coffee mug, even the fancy technical ones with various graphite hardness, is terrible. It’s a hunt to find the one you need, the tips get dulled even when not in use, and the coffee mug on your desk with pencils in it makes you look like a weary cartoonist. Thus, the pencil rack. Made of monolithic concrete with embedded hardware, every instrument occupies its own dedicated slot, and the adjustable screws ensure each is supported by the wood, not the point. Plus it makes you look like the genius architect you daydream you are.
