Japanese Overdesign FTW: Tsukushi Pencil Tip Protector Also Adds Clip Functionality

By Rain Noe - August 4, 2021

in Object Culture

On the borderline between hilarious and ingenious: This Pencil Cap, sold by Japanese stationery brand Tsukushi and manufactured in a spring factory in Tokyo, not only protects the sharpened tip, but allows you to carry it around like a pen.

The ¥1,650 (USD $15) cap was designed by Drill Design. (Note: For some reason, I couldn't get Drill's website to load properly on Chrome or Firefox, but Safari seems to have no problem.)

A pen can jiggle in a pocket when it does not have a pen holder. This is a cool design and very innovative.

One of these would have saved my $100 Apple Pencil! I will definitely try to acquire one.
