I was at Al Bader Stationary randomly walking around when I noticed some amazingly designed Lyra brand coloring pencils called ColorStripe. I know it sounds strange.. what the hell is an amazingly designed coloring pencil? Well that’s what I thought was the best part about it, someone actually decided to redesign the coloring pencil as we know it and did such an incredible job the coloring pencils won a gold in the iF product design awards as well as a reddot design award for best of the best. These are simple coloring pencils we’re talking about here.
They look like no other pencil I had ever seen before and that’s probably because these are how coloring pencils would look like in the future except they’re here right now. I of course picked up a box right away along with a matching sharpener. Not sure what I am going to do with them but I just couldn’t resist not getting them, if anything just to say thank you to Lyra for creating something so beautiful. The box of 8 coloring pencils cost me KD2.750 while the sharpener cost me 900fils. [Link]

ooh I forgot to add, I love walking around two places: Mqahwi and Albader… I feel my hands etching and I want to paint and design stuff… especially the old mqahwi in Salmiya… I wonder if its still standing? I must go visit!
Yup Mogahwi is still there https://248am.com/mark/kuwait/mogahwi/

Does the color rub off onto your finger while using it or is the color stripe just part of the wooden covering? cool design though.
oh wait, scratch that. They have a ‘how to use’ section and that answered my question. Man! I never thought I’d be reading a usage description for a fricking pencil!
… every artist’s dream. ‘sigh’.
