HMM Playful Eraser Ball [Grey, Yellow, Pink]

An eraser built as a sphere from six identical wedges around a central axis, after the shape of a dandelion clock.

Take one wedge out and you have a precise eraser with a rounded working edge; leave it whole and it sits on a desk as an object, holds business cards in its gaps, or props up a pen. Each piece is balanced to stand on its own and spin without toppling, which is a surprising amount of engineering for a rubber. Made from rubber with no PVC and no plasticiser.

Trade notes

An object first and an eraser second — it sells on the shelf as a design piece, at a price no eraser could otherwise command. Site it with desk accessories, not with stationery consumables. Three colours; it photographs well, so it also earns its place in a window.
