Fabula the Organic Pencil

Revolutionizing Pencil Design with Sustainability in Mind

Fabula the Organic Pencil, designed by Mateja Kuhar, is a game-changer in the world of stationery. Unlike traditional pencils, Fabula is made from 100% organic waste materials, making it an eco-friendly alternative. Kuhar's inspiration for this design came from the alarming rate at which trees are being cut down for pencil production, leading to habitat destruction and environmental degradation.

What sets Fabula apart is its unique feature - the pencil becomes a plant fertilizer. Seeds are incorporated into the top of the pencil, and once the pencil is used to its unusable length, the top with the seeds is dissolved in water and planted along with the pencil waste organic material. This organic material acts as a fertilizer for the young plant, promoting its growth and reducing waste.

The realization of Fabula involves using recycled waste organic materials collected from local craftsmen. These materials are processed to create the body of the pencil, and an organic adhesive is used to hold it together. The pencil lead is also handmade to avoid the use of harmful chemicals. Even the packaging is made of recycled paper, further promoting eco-friendly practices.

With dimensions of 11mm width, 130mm depth, and 11mm height, Fabula is designed to be comfortable to hold and use. Its sleek and minimalist design adds a touch of sophistication to any workspace.

Fabula the Organic Pencil has garnered attention and recognition for its innovative approach to sustainability. It was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Sustainable Products, Projects, and Green Design category in 2015. This prestigious award is a testament to the creativity and resourcefulness exhibited by Mateja Kuhar in designing a product that not only meets the highest ecological standards but also contributes to a better world.

By choosing Fabula the Organic Pencil, users not only have a high-quality writing instrument but also actively participate in eco-friendly actions. The pencil's interaction with the environment goes beyond its primary function, making it a symbol of conscious consumerism and a step towards a greener future.

With Fabula the Organic Pencil, Mateja Kuhar has not only created a sustainable design but also initiated a movement towards eco-consciousness, promoting ecological education, healthy living, and animal welfare. It's time to make a positive change, one pencil at a time.
