Real Boy Push Pins / Thumb Tacks by Duncan Shotton Platinum Art and Stationery Supplies Design Award Winner 2013

Real Boy Push Pins / Thumb Tacks

Pinocchio-inspired push pins designed and manufactured by young British designer Duncan Shotton. Injection-moulded in white in the UK, the pins are then hand painted to exquisite detail by Shotton himself in his recently established Tokyo Studio. Each of the beautifully packaged, x 1000 limited-edition packs of two has it's own serial number, is sold exclusively online and comes with a signed thank you note. -An example of how the application of design and fine craftsmanship can transform such a standard, accepted stationary product into an object of desire.
