In order. Always. Block’s Gradient Sketching Pencils, laid out one by one. Color by color. Shade by shade.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For the ones who notice. For the ones who care about the details. This one’s for you
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Each hue representing a different graphite grade for all drawing styles and techniques. A colorful solution to the constant scramble for trying to search for the required pencil, no more interrupting the creative flow.

Good design deserves a good home.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This month we’re rounding up some of the incredible stockists and stores bringing Block out into the world.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
From independent design shops to beautifully curated galleries, the Block community of stockists is something we’re proud of. Every shelf, every display, every space that gives our products a home.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you stock Block and haven’t tagged us yet - we want to see it. Tag @blockdesign

This is where our Tile collection begins.
Measure. Mix. Pour. Stack. Every tile product made by hand, here in the Block studio. It’s a process we never get tired of - there’s something deeply satisfying about watching color take shape.

If choosing a favorite color feels impossible… this one’s for you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our Duo Tone and Dual Colour Glass Candle Holders, doing their thing - shifting through every shade, catching the light, showing off a little.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One for the bold. One for the minimal. One for the “just one more” people.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Be honest… how many are you picking?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

What’s in the tin? A pair for now, and a pair for later.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our bamboo socks come folded into their own color-matched bean tins - each one holding two pairs: one playful pattern, one bold color block. A little mix of fun and function for the everyday.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Soft, breathable, and designed to bring a bit of joy to something you wear all the time - whether that’s adding a subtle pop of color to an office-ready outfit, or leaning fully into dopamine dressing and wearing them loud and proud.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because you’re never fully dressed without a smile… and these tend to bring a few.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And once the socks are in the drawer, the tin sticks around - ready to be reused, refilled, or repurposed however you like.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Three colorways. Two pairs in each. Which one are you picking?

Inspiration is everywhere, if you’re paying attention.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Color is never accidental at Block. Every shade is considered. Every combination tested. Every decision made with care. It’s where everything begins.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We see it in where we work - on the edge of the Port Eliot estate in Cornwall. The color of the sea on a grey day, the hedgerows in spring, the stone walls - all of it quietly finds its way into what we make.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We find inspiration further afield, too. Tradeshows, creative spaces, time spent with our global design community - seeing what people are making, how they’re thinking, what’s coming next. We go to learn as much as we go to show.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We’re part of a wider creative community - makers, designers, artists, retailers - people doing brilliant things in their own way. They inspire us constantly. We hope we do the same.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We’d love to know … what’s been inspiring you lately?

You will not stop watching this.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Gradient Newton’s Cradle. Doing what it does. Beautifully.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A quiet rhythm. A moment of pause. A desk object that holds attention.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For idle hands, busy minds, and desks that deserve something a little more.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Go on… one more watch.
