Coconut Shell Pen stand | ONEarth

A desk pen stand made from a discarded coconut shell, cut and buffed so the shell's own grain stays visible. It holds pens, pencils, scissors and brushes on a work desk or study table, and replaces the moulded plastic organiser most desks come with. In South India large volumes of coconut shell are simply burnt; upcycling them into objects like this keeps them in use instead.

FAQs

Is the inside of the shell finished, or rough?

The shell is cut and buffed, though the interior keeps some of its natural texture. That is characteristic of the material rather than a fault.

Can I use it to hold anything other than stationery?

Yes — it works equally well for make-up brushes, cutlery on a dining table, or small keys and coins.

Does it need a coating or polish?

No. Keeping it dry is enough; a light wipe now and then keeps the surface clean.
