Olno is a mechanical pencil with a new type of intelligent mechanism. While conventionally pushing the button on the end of the pencil advances the lead, simply “crushing” the middle of this pencil does the same job. Thus, the writing process is uninterrupted. The pen is available in a number of modern colour combinations and, thanks to its rubber grip zones, assures a secure grip.
Statement by the Jury
The special design innovation of this mechanical pencil is that its lead is extended by a simple squeeze in the middle of the pencil’s body. This facilitates the use of this pleasantly easy-to-hold writing tool.
