The latest Exclusive from Mann Inc was designed by Richard and Kim's eight year old son Thomas Mann. He came up with the idea and drew it on paper for this great design. 150 Limited Edition Pencils are now on sale complementing the 350 Limited Edition Rollerballs of the same design that went on sale on the 13th of May.

"I wanted to design a real Retro 51 pen, art is one of my favourite subjects at school, I always like chatting to Richard Koehler about the recent designs and have been thinking hard about what would look good. I am delighted Retro 51 liked this design and feel very proud it has been made into a real pen and pencil. I love nature and animals and thought it would be fun to have a design that could support a local wildlife charity and encourage pen collectors to make a insect hotel. A ladybird (ladybug) has a simple but fun pattern, I love the way it looks on a pen and pencil and hope the Retro 51 collectors will enjoy my idea." - Thomas Mann

Edward ★★★★★

The 1.1mm lead is thicker than what I usually use, so it doesn't snap every five minutes like my old thin pencils did. Knowing an eight year old came up with the design makes it a fun one to keep at my desk.

Natalie X. ★★★★★

The 1.1mm lead is that sweet spot between too thin and too chunky, and it holds a point longer than I expected. Knowing only 150 of these exist makes me weirdly nervous to actually use it, but I've been sketching with it all week anyway.

Ava ★★★★★

My kid spotted this before I could even open the box—the backstory behind the design is what sold me. It’s a solid piece of the limited 150 run, and knowing an eight-year-old sketched the whole thing makes it feel special to hold.
