Blackwing Volume 71 (Set of 12 Pencils)
Tribute to Frank Lloyd Wright and his architectural ambition. Each pencil features silhouette of one of Wright's iconic perforated boards printed in a muted, midcentury palette. The area around the board is unfilled, letting the natural wood of the pencil shine through. Each pencil also includes a copper ferrule and our extra-firm graphite.
Product Details:
Few of the structures built by Frank Lloyd Wright during his historic career exemplify his never-ending pursuit of beauty better than his Usonian homes. Wright created the Usonian design philosophy to show that a practical and affordable home can still be a beautiful home. He brought best-in-class architecture to the middle-class when he built his first Usonian home at the age of 71.
Wright sought harmony between form and function, natural and artificial construction, and positive and negative space. The perforated boards that adorn the windows and laylights of these Usonian homes have become symbols of his unique design approach.

WHY CHOOSE PENCIL AND PAPER?
Research shows that writing by hand is much healthier for you.
Handwriting activates more neural pathways than typing does -- leading to many long-term health benefits.
Here are just a few reasons why it's important to use pencil and paper:
Memory Retention - Slowing down and writing it out by hand engages your brain to actually understand and reflect on what you're doing.
Brain Activity - Writing on paper activates more regions of your brain than computers or smartphones -- enhancing your capacity to store and retrieve information.
Reduced Stress - Writing on paper promotes focus and eliminates distractions. It fosters a deeper connection to mind and body without over-stimulation.
At the end of the day, using analog tools make us more human. Beyond the benefits, it reminds us of who we are.
