Brass Metalwork Ruler by Tom Pigeon + Weekend Links


Simple, playful and purposeful design here, by Tom Pigeon. This 15cm solid brass ruler grabs inspiration from school woodwork classes, and traditional tools. Crafted up in the West Coast of Scotland, and designed to age over time. Nothing groundbreaking, but then, a ruler doesn't need to be.

Enjoy the weekend, folks! After a hectic week I'm looking for nothing more than a quiet chill.

  5. I love Tom Pigeon's prints! Wish I could use the ruler, too bad we're inch and feet based in the U.S.!
