"Chalk Drawers" are simple yet revolutionary drawing toys that challenge users to rethink the act of drawing. Made entirely of chalk, they allow users to create original, geometric, and precise patterns.

Three designs are available, each of which allows users to easily and instantly create dot, circle, or line patterns. Simply rub the Chalk Drawers on the ground and move it in the desired direction to create a beautiful piece of art. From the moment you get your hands on one, you'll feel like an artist, making this a toy that both children and adults can enjoy. Another unique feature of this product is that all designs are based on the base 5 system, allowing for accurate metric drawing. The straight-line design allows users to draw five lines simultaneously, making it easy to create five-line staff notation.




The creator of "Chalk Drawers" is Nikolas Bentel, a young New York designer who was born and raised in a family involved in architecture. He created this product by rethinking how to use chalk, a material that has long been familiar to people as an easily accessible material. Chalk has been used in a variety of ways, but Bentel came up with a way to use it using 3D printing, which is becoming a mainstream method of modern production technology. Many design ideas were created before the product was completed, but the three designs mentioned above were ultimately adopted. Each one costs around 3,000 yen (28 dollars). They are available on Bentel's official website as well as at the New Museum in New York.
