Time Space Existence: the Future of Architecture In Venice

Until November 23, 2025, Venice is the global hub for architectural discussion with "Time Space Existence." This biennial exhibition, spearheaded by the European Cultural Centre, features projects from 52 countries, all focused on "Repairing, Regenerating, and Reusing" for a more sustainable future.

Designers Luka Or and Keren Tomer asked 3rd year industrial design students from Holon Institute of Technology to re-think the idea of a pencil, each student in his own way.

The everyday useful object was reinterpreted in 18 different ways giving it new functions, shapes and meanings.

The results include a collection of new and intriguing pencils including a tube pencil, a series of pencil brushes, a pencil dedicated for fashion pattern making, a letter stamping pencil and more. The project was a short and “sharpened” exercise as a preparation for a bigger project the students are working on at the moment, setted around “gift products”.
