COLORGEM
Draw from nature, as if you picked up a piece of rock and started coloring. The world of minerals is contextualized the moment when we put it down on paper, reminding us again of the wonderfully random deposits of pigments, the layering of rock formation and the process of eroding away when in use.
Color gem is meant to fulfill the urge of realizing colors directly from nature, and the satisfaction of transforming a block into a form unique to the user’s habit of drawing. Just like natural rock erosion, we want to let the organic action of drawing determine the form of the crayon. Therefore, the user has the opportunity to take part and be invested in the product’s creation and adaptation.
The original cube shape invites the user to determine the “rock form” through the act of drawing; every sign of press, indent and dulled corner implies the artistic footprints.
