We made pencils, rulers, and erasers into long sticks to look like wood or metal components found at home improvement stores. You can cut them into any length you want, or use them as materials for new tools.
Today, we are surrounded by all kinds of stationery, but originally they were simple things, like carving patterns on the ground with branches. Later, the materials were modified and tools were made, but we think that by using the tools themselves as materials again, we can create a new relationship between things and people. How do you use “raw stationery” ?
