Lumin 샤프펜슬 소개

루민은 100% 알루미늄으로 제작된 디자인입니다. 별도의 메커니즘 없이 재료의 탄성을 활용하여 흑연을 고정합니다. 다양한 CNC 가공 공정을 통해 생산되며, 각 공정마다 수작업 마감이 이루어집니다. 각인된 시리얼 넘버로 식별되고 정품을 인증하는 패키징이 함께 제공됩니다. 디자이너는 루민을 통해 비움의 감성을 표현하고자 했습니다. 완벽하지는 않지만 진정성 있는, 각자의 내면에 살아있는 빛남의 한 조각입니다. 이렇게 루민은 내적 성찰과 개인적 사색을 이끌어냅니다.

디자인 비하인드

프레스 킷

디자이너가 제공한 크레딧, 팀원 및 기술 세부 사항.

고유 특성: Lumin represents an emotion, of emptiness, to give rise to the new. A fragment of light, not perfect but authentic, that shines one's own brilliance. Materialize the intangible.
In its packaging, emptiness is symbolized. Where, for the light to find us, we must find that breaking point.
The pencil, what must always shine, protect itself, defend...Education.
"Alumina,
light that propagates through the emptiness.
Lumin, born from absence."
치수 및 패키징: Mechanical pencil, material aluminum alloy 2011, weight 90 grams, dimensions 100 mm x 19 mm, between the faces of the hexagon
Packaging material 300 gr illustration, printing full color, finish matte polypropylene on both sides, die cut digital, finish 2 double sided, dimensions 140 mm x40 mm x 40 mm
태그: emotion, intangible, emptyness, authentic, light, absence, aluminum, alumina
생산 기술: Lumin is an exclusive design, made 100 percent from aluminum. Stripped of any mechanism, it uses the elasticity of the material to hold the graphite. It is produced using different numerical control machining processes, with a manual finish in each of them. Identified with its engraved serial number and accompanied by the packaging that authenticates it.
디자인 과제: From 2017 to 2022, I was a professor at a university in the model and prototype workshop. After the pandemic, classes were taught online, so the workshop became unnecessary. This made me think about how education changed, and today I think the pencil was an act of protest to defend it. It wasn't easy to find a CNC lathe operator willing to make only 100 units at first; they usually order 1,000 units. Costs also increased due to devaluation in my country. Even the cost of the packaging was high, given the small quantity, so I had to do it using digital offset.
I made virtually no profit, nor was I interested in making any. It was a process through which I was able to understand the anguish I carried inside, and by materializing it, I was able to face it and thus let it go.
연구: The initial idea was to create a mechanical pencil using discarded aluminum. Information was collected on different mechanical pencils and their possible mechanisms. At that time, as a teacher in a model and prototype workshop, I had access to lathes where the first six prototypes were created. They were so popular that I began researching how to mass-produce them, since making them individually is time-consuming. Today, it has become a coveted object for designers, architects, and artists. I would like to make a more democratic product, making it accessible to everyone, but production costs are high for the quantities I can make.
영감: It was an exploration of personal introspection of my emotions.
Lumin was the key to a new stage. It was my breaking point, to change my reality.
프로젝트 기간: At the end of 2020, 6 functional prototypes were made and the pre series was launched in July 2023.
It participated in Buenos Aires, Argentina in INNOVAR 2023 with the ID 23902 and Sello Buen Diseño 2025 with the ID 5834.
운영 흐름: Release the lead from the packaging by pushing the tip of the mechanical pencil inward from one side to eject it from the other side and pulling to remove it. Do not open, disassemble, or break the packaging.

The lead is 5,5 mm and is adjusted when released, vertically with the tip pointing down, always opening slightly to the sides. Hold the lead with both hands on a horizontal surface to prevent the lead from falling out.
If it has been held for a long time, you may need to open it and simultaneously press the lead on a horizontal surface to release it from its internal grip. The lead should fall freely when the clip is opened.

Reload from the rear vortex by inserting a 5,5 mm lead, positioning it vertically with the tip pointing down, fitting the lead into the front hole, and opening it slightly to the sides again to adjust the length.

The length of the graphite exposed is adjusted using the same procedure. Place the clamp against a horizontal surface and adjust it to the desired length.

-The opening is minimal. While the material holds the graphite, it is not very elastic. If the graphite is moved without opening it, it will wear down and the clamp will no longer work.
특허: -Patented. Patent No 103.171. Alexis Zapata. 2022. Argentina.
