Description

The NO.30 Pencil Sharpener is an egg-shaped pencil sharpener inspired by the Japanese capsule toys known as Gashapon. The top half is a sharpener moulded from a single piece of aluminium, and the bottom half is a heavier zinc alloy, so it balances like a chubby toy.

It looks like a solid piece, but it opens along the middle line to empty the shavings. It was developed by the Office for Product Design.

About the brand

Zinc, element number 30

no.30 takes its name from zinc, element number 30 on the periodic table and the metal from which all its objects begin. Behind the brand is a family factory in Changhua, Taiwan, that has been working zinc for more than forty years.

Since 2013 it has worked with international designers to breathe new life into zinc casting, a craft handed down from generation to generation. The result is desk objects with soft, neutral lines, designed for everyday use.

Testimonials

  • I was very happy to see Araujo & Sobrinho reopened, with materials of great quality. Walking into the shop again brought back many memories of my student days. It is a landmark and deserves to carry on this fine tradition.

  • Araujo & Sobrinho is a historic and magical stationery shop that has inspired me since the 1970s. A landmark for artists and lovers of the best brands. A symbol of our magnificent city of Porto!

  • On Largo de São Domingos, Araujo & Sobrinho is still a magical world. The old cabinets, the papers and canvases, and the same warm welcome as always take us back to times gone by. It is a house that keeps the memory of the city of Porto.
