Onigiri Mechanical Pencil: Raw Aluminum

Taking inspiration from Japanese Onigiri rice balls, Before Breakfast spent four years designing and refining their collection of writing instruments. The result is a soft triangular shape made from tactile raw aluminum. The pen's rounded edges improve writing comfort and allow it to sit on the desktop without rolling. Designed with simplicity in mind, this push button style pen is ideal for those who are always on the move. The finish is left unsealed so it will acquire character over time. Something to which we all aspire.

The pencil mechanism is a simple push button, and accommodates both .5mm and .7mm leads. Comes with one black Schmidt .7mm lead, additional .5mm and .7mm refills are readily available.

Also available in Black, Rollerball and Ballpoint.

From Before Breakfast, a London-based stationery company. The name of the brand is a homage to the quote found in Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll: “Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”
