Therefore, there is no doubt about the relevance of <strong>Lloyd Wright<\/strong> in the world of architecture.<\/p>\n<p>For quite some time now, <strong>Acme Studio<\/strong> has been devoting part of its work to extolling the legacy of <strong>Frank Loyd Wright<\/strong>, and not only with writing instruments, but also with card holders, cufflinks, key rings, etc&#8230; All these objects, late or sooner they will be the object of collectors&#8217; desire.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>FLW Mechanical Pencil<\/strong> is made from a cylindrical metal tube just 7 mm. The body, in its upper part, is carefully lacquered in the color <strong>&#8220;Cherokee Red&#8221;<\/strong>, <strong>Wright&#8217;s<\/strong> favorite, where his signature is stamped.<\/p>\n<p>In its lower part, the handle has a bright chrome with lacquered bas-relief of blocks seen in the <strong>&#8220;Ennis&#8221;<\/strong> house. This small relief makes the grip of the mechanical pencil more comfortable.<\/p>\n<p>The drive and dosage mechanism of the lead is impeccable, presenting a constant and precise dosage.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/encyclobjects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Portaminas-FLW-Frank-Lloyd-Wright-Acme-Studio-435x870px.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;flw-mechanical pencil-frank-lloyd-wright-acme-studio&#8221; title_text=&#8221;FLW-Mechanical Pencil-Frank-Lloyd-Wright-Acme-Studio-435x870px.jpg&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/encyclobjects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Portaminas-FLW-Frank-Lloyd-Wright-Acme-Studio-1131x705px.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;flw-mechanical pencil-frank-lloyd-wright-acme-studio&#8221; title_text=&#8221;FLW-Mechanical-Pencil-Lloyd-1131x705px.jpg&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>In the hand, despite its small dimensions (140x7mm.), it is comfortable and, due to its weight, it moves easily in long and short strokes. It allows the lead to leave just enough graphite on the paper so as not to stain and not go unnoticed in the softest strokes. The eraser fulfills its function, although the support for which it is prepared has to be strong. The lead collects perfectly and the clip (a bit small) fits well in a shirt pocket.<\/p>\n<p>The mechanical pencil is presented in an excellent beige metal case that, in addition to being very elegant, is eminently practical.

Specifically, its <strong>Dots<\/strong> <strong>(dots)<\/strong> design had a textile implementation that was later applied to the chairs and the interior space.<\/p>\n<p>In the case at hand, the <strong>Dots<\/strong> design has been part of <strong>Acme Studio<\/strong> since almost the beginning of its writing instruments. Therefore, when it was decided to commemorate a mechanical pencil for <strong>Charles and Ray Eames<\/strong>, nothing better than the <strong>Dots<\/strong> design to edit it.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Dots Mechanical Pencil<\/strong> is very similar to <strong>Le Corbusier&#8217;s<\/strong> <strong>Ronchamp Mechanical Pencil<\/strong>. It is still a design made from a 7mm cylindrical metal tube. splendidly black lacquered. On this lacquer appear the signatures of <strong>Charles<\/strong> and <strong>Ray<\/strong> in silver.<\/p>\n<p>The lower part of the body, that is, the handle, has a satin chrome finish on which there is a bas-relief of the <strong>Dots<\/strong> design finished in black lacquer. This subtle embossing improves the grip feel of the mechanical pencil.<\/p>\n<p>The drive mechanism uses the upper button to move the lead, always uniform and precise, always allowing the perfect dosage.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/encyclobjects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Portaminas-Dots-estuche-Eames-Acme-Studio-1131x1131px.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Dots-Mechanical pencil-case-Eames&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Dots-Mechanical Pencil-case-Eames-Acme-Studio-1131x1131px.jpg&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Dots Mechanical Pencil<\/strong> is presented in an extraordinary metal case. Inside, a perfectly fitted foam rubber houses the mechanical pencil, a tube with spare leads and a black eraser with a white asterisk. A small diptych on <strong>Charles and Ray Eames<\/strong> as well as a small book with writing instruments from <strong>Acme Studio<\/strong> complete the set.<\/p>\n<p>In hand, like its two predecessors, it is perfect for sketching freehand plans and even for certain uses of linear drawing. Its dimensions (140x7mm.) make it agile in any hand, allowing very defined strokes on any occasion. The eraser, due to its hardness, seems designed only for strong paper or cardboard surfaces.<\/p>\n<p>In short, an architect&#8217;s mechanical pencil designed for architects. A perfect gift and an indelible memory of this couple of designers who remain &#8220;very alive&#8221; in their creations (Aluminium chair, Eames lounge and Ottoman, etc&#8230;).<\/p>\n<p>Of the three mechanical pencils that we have developed in this article, the <strong>Dots Mechanical Pencil<\/strong> is currently <strong>discontinued<\/strong>, with very few units for sale.
