Electric pencil sharpener

Mitsubishi Pencil Co., Ltd.

Featuring a non-obtrusive square shape and a subtle monotone color, the Electric Pencil Sharpener blends in harmony with its desk surroundings. The electrical cable is well positioned on the unit to conveniently allow the sharpener to align itself with the wall. The keyhole shape allows for a moment to ponder a new idea while inserting a key (pencil) into the keyhole to open the door to a new thought (and to sharpen the pencil). A thermostat to monitor overheating and a fail-safe device to alert the user when the dust case is not properly in place are additional amenities.
