Sometimes we forget, that when we are working… we are building experiences, and I wanted to create something that reminded me of that, every time I used it.

This mechanical pencil was designed so that when you hold it, it’s a better experience… I wanted the weight of it alone, to be satisfying.

MEET THE designer and creator

“...while designing and prototyping the Brass Chunky, I had two goals.”

This is the Brass Chunky. It's not a pen for a lawyer's office. It's a mechanical pencil for the workshop. You don't need the Brass Chunky. It won't make you a better drawer. It won't make you a better woodworker. Truthfully, it doesn't perform any better than an everyday $0.30 mechanical pencil... But it does excel in one aspect.

You see, while designing and prototyping the Brass Chunky, I had two goals. First, I wanted it to look and feel like it belonged in a workshop. But second and most importantly, I wanted it to bring me just a little bit of joy every time I picked it up. And I'm happy to report...it does. So again, you don't need the Brass Chunky mechanical pencil. ...but maybe...just maybe... you want one.
