26 November 2013 — We have a number of new products in our line-up just in time for the holiday season, and this is one of our favorites: the sleek and elegant “On A Roll” Tape Dispenser created by London-based design duo black+blum. These cutting edge design gurus describe their product development ethic as “ruthless practicality with a mischievous and intellectually satisfying design aesthetic.”
“On A Roll” is made of solid, perfectly finished cast iron. It takes advantage of gravity to remove the need for a separate spindle/roll, and is heavy enough (1 kg / 2.3 lbs) to use with one hand.
Works perfectly with our 100% plastic-free tapes made of cellulose with a natural rubber adhesive. With gift-wrapping season here, this is a great way to avoid those annoying plastic tapes and throwaway plastic tape dispensers.
And the two together would also make a lovely gift for someone who seeks the perfect combination of eco-friendly beauty and functionality in the office environment, or as a practical counter sculpture at home.
It’s simply pleasant to look at, and use.
