CONFLICT OF INTEREST_ Sometimes you can't help biting the hand that feeds. An eraser exists only because the pencil exists. It owes its being and sole purpose to the pencil. However, it is ironic that through its use, it challenges and diminishes the presence of its enabler. Playing up this irony, our eraser design pays homage to the pencil by creating a case for it but also conversely eclipses the pencil by entombing it from sight.

A slit running along the top length of the rubber case provides access for stationery to be housed. The entire case is constructed from the same material as a 'pencil eraser', thus enabling the corners to erase unwanted pencil markings.
