An Eames chair is not just a chair and a Caran d’Ache mechanical pencil sharpener is not just a desk accessory. Created in 1933, the rotary sharpener has achieved the status of an icon and cult collector’s item. As beautiful as it is practical, this sharpening machine features a robust metal build with an elegant silver gray finish. The design is also made with function in mind. The user can adjust the sharpening setting with precision from dull to ultra-sharp, depending on requirements. Safe to say, this makes the Caran d’Ache mechanical pencil sharpener ideal for artists, designers, and architects. A desk clamping option provides an easy way to secure the pencil sharpener to a flat surface. Other features include a handle that moves with a smooth motion and a generously sized tray that holds the shavings.
