Maker Faire Bay Area 2009
Cardboard Pencil

Location:   Expo Hall  228   

The Cardboard Pencil was constructed for an industrial design class at Stanford University using the materials and methods found in Michael Gehry's cardboard furniture from the 1970s. The pencil retains these aesthetic highlights while at the same time preserving the ethic of disposability. The pencil was made using Solidworks, laser cutting equipment, and lots of spray mount.
