The artist Jinsik Kim has created an interesting design that could be used as a pencil holder or even a paperweight. Made with extreme precision, the 'Stone Age Project' as it's called, was completed using colored marble.
Due to his use of this material plus careful attention paid to shape and smoothness, the resulting sculpture is one to be admire. As the designer states on the DesignBoom website, "I believe that products should have natural parts in themselves that people do not touch for beauty or decoration." He is referring to the essence of a product, which here is a sense of calm and serenity when looking at the object. The piece can also be split up into various sections.
