Here in Italy, the “Coffee Break” Lineup by Midory was distributed by Vittorio Martini, but the only specimens I could find were a pair of wooden-and-hexagonal-barrel knock sharps (one with black lacquer, the other in plain wood), shown here, and later on — at the same shop in Venezia — a trio of wooden-and-cylindrical-barrel knock sharps (sea green, “dirty” vegetal green, salmon orange/red), for which however there is a clear imprint linking the pencils to Midori Japan, but no trace of the “Coffee Break” series; the internals and tips are perfectly interchangeable.
Needless to say, this seems to be the extra-luxury version of my models; still, I consider my humble wooden pencils among the best pieces I own: reliable, light, charming, cute but not childish, spectacularly close to the original spirit of the mechanical pencil as a concept.
Thanks for reminding me of my beloved CB’s…
