Join us in-store at Odd Nodd on Saturday, September 28th, from 4-6pm to meet Vanessa and (our very own) Elyse and discuss their new book!
Few of the structures built by Frank Lloyd Wright during his historic career exemplify his never-ending pursuit of beauty better than his Usonian homes. Wright created the Usonian design philosophy to show that a practical and affordable home can still be a beautiful home. He brought best-in-class architecture to the middle-class when he built his first Usonian home at the age of 71.
Wright sought harmony between form and function, natural and artificial construction, and positive and negative space. The perforated boards that adorn the windows and laylights of these Usonian homes have become symbols of his unique design approach.
The Blackwing 71 is a tribute to Frank Lloyd Wright and his architectural ambition. Each pencil features a silhouette of one of Wright’s iconic perforated boards printed in a muted, midcentury palette. The area around the board is unfilled, letting the natural wood of the pencil shine through. Each pencil also includes a copper ferrule and our extra-firm graphite.
Every year for Inktober, Kuretake releases a new illustration set to aid illustrators and highlight some of their best pens. Depending on the set, you can easily express different aspects of illustration such as line drawing, solid painting, highlighting, and shading.
