Fresh colours, friendly faces, and a quietly clever sense of design—this new Uni Palette Pencil Debut Set A proves that school essentials needn’t be dull. Created by Mitsubishi Pencil Co. in Tokyo, the Uni Palette range blends trusted Japanese pencil quality with designs that feel thoughtful, modern, and just playful enough.

This new release introduces three distinct design concepts, each encouraging children to discover their preferences through colour, texture, and style. From softly nuanced tones inspired by grown-up stationery to charming animal motifs complete with paw-print details, every pencil feels considered rather than noisy. The result? Writing tools that spark joy without distracting from learning.

Also making its debut is the Uni Palette Fit, a more functional take on the classic Palette pencil. With a non-slip grip inspired by sports equipment, it’s designed to sit securely in small hands, offering comfort and confidence during longer writing sessions.

Each colour is supplied as a single shade per dozen, making it easier for children to choose “their” pencil—an unexpectedly important part of developing independence at school.
