I don't think so. "Each Pencil has a unique character that will subtly change with years of use." That's likely too much for any demographic.

I'm a software engineer with a CS degree and over 22,000 karma on HN. I actually liked that part! I like things that show wear over time for two reasons. First, it communicates how people use it. The wear patterns create some context, so the object feels familiar as soon as you see it. Second, designing a product to wear well means it can stand up to some abuse and isn't a victim of planned obsolescence.
On the other hand, "as easy as falling in love" is definitely over the top ;)

so making it out of wood, which chip easily, is designing it to wear well?
The brushed aluminium is probably better than the wood.
Hipsters love wabi-sabi.
The only person I've ever heard gush about wabi-sabi is Jack Dorsey
