After a rather long break, the pencil pot of the month category will be in use again, even if only temporarily.
Starting the pencil pots of 2023 off is a concrete pencil pot from Spanish company DOIY Design. I ordered this one from Zeitgeist London when it was on offer [1]At the time of writing this blog post it still is on offer..
This Spanish designed and Chinese made pencil pot has a slight hue of pink. I find the “stairs” of this pencil pot interesting. They can be used as pen holders to rest full length pens, but they really excel as a place to store used pencils that got shorter with time.
Be warned though if you want to use expensive pens with this pen holder: Concrete can be quite rough, so in my opinion there is a slightly increased possibility of scratching the surface of pens you store in this pen holder if you are not careful.

This is a clever pencil pot! I like the stairs too. – I have noticed that DOIY also have a matching. i. e. “stepped” tape dispenser and a similar pen tray (the latter seems to be out of stock).
OH, I haven’t seen that one yet. I should have a look. I also bought the pen tray with a lid: https://zeitgeist.london/products/scala-pen-tray
