Description
In this one-of-a-kind “Pencil Knolling Device,” Keunho Peter Park explores the limits of a design he developed for the Center’s 2021 Bandsaw Box Auction.
Park’s “Pencil Knolling Device” pushes the limits of tradition with this funky and functional bandsaw box. Its sturdy, well-designed box base allows for a lid with personality and functionality. “Knolling” is a design slang term named after the Knoll furniture company, which famously uses 90º angles in their designs, as such, “knolling” denotes turning objects 90º to a flat surface, which this knolling device does to pencils placed on the lid.
The lid provides a simple yet ergonomic resting place for current pencils while the interior allows for storage of pencils yet-to-be-used.
