FERRULE PENCIL
EXTENDER
PROJECT FOR MAKERS CABINET
Ferrule is a pencil holder which combines the
most satisfying elements of premium pen
design with the natural beauty of a wooden
pencil.
Ferrule offers an unparalleled drawing
experience and will last generations.
Initially raised £137,888 on Kickstarter and
continues to be a best seller today.

I developed a collet mechanism
inside of the ferrule which is
engineered to grip variously sized
pencils.

LEATHER SHEATHS
PROJECT FOR MAKERS CABINET
All good things should wear in, rather than wear out... Makers Cabinet required a range of leather sheaths for
their range of premium drawing and writing tools.
A key challenge was cost. Cost was minimized by designing the sheaths in such a way to minimize
manufacturing processes. For example, the Høvel sheath is simply cut from a single piece of leather, studded
and folded.

13. The most expensive sheath to produce was the Iris, however
even here cost was minimized. The Iris sheath uses 2 identical
wet formed halves, one stud and a single machine stitch to
create a beautiful envelope.
A natural vegetable tan leather from Northern Italy was
chosen due to its proclivity to age gracefully and gain a
beautiful patina over time.

CENTER LIGHT
CONSUMER ELECTRONICS AND
PACKAGING DESIGN
Center Light is an everyday bike light.
Designed to last a lifetime
We all know that rechargeable products
stop holding a charge after a few years...
...So center Light has a replaceable
battery that can be changed as the
product ages.

and branding.
