Elegantly Designed Drawing Tools

The Iris Drawing Compass is Inspired by Camera Apertures

Iris is a drawing compass and measuring tool that inspires creativity, making it the perfect gift for camera and drawing lovers alike.

Iris perfectly aids in the drawing and measurement of circles, with a stainless steel build that rotates drawing utensils seamlessly, and a solid brass enclosure in the middle that scales the shapes to the perfect size. A mark on its measurement gauge can also help users to create repeated or changing circles. Iris celebrates time-honoured materials and mechanisms, incorporating the fascinating mechanics of the aperture of a camera lens.

The unique tool will be launching on May 7th 2019 on Kickstarter, with prices starting at £40 for the earliest backers.
