In celebration of the M.A.D.Gallery's 15th anniversary, Swiss watchmaking brand MB&F partnered with Caran d’Ache to convert a classic Swiss childhood staple into a striking piece of functional kinetic art. Unveiled on World Gorilla Day, September 24th, the GorillaSharpener reshapes the iconic Caran d'Ache desk pencil sharpener into a muscular, knuckle-walking mechanical beast. Inspired by MB&F's core ethos that "a creative adult is a child who survived," this fully operational collector's item honors playful nostalgia while directly benefiting gorilla conservation through its support of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund.
