Both in the office and at home, adhesive tape and other desk utensils are always in demand, and often hard to find. The Scotch Tape Dispenser offers a seductively new solution to this everyday dilemma. It turns the functional concept of a combined storage box and tape dispenser into reality, using harmonious design vocabulary. A separate, U-shaped compartment provides storage space for all kinds of desk utensils such as pencils, notepads and scissors, with the tape dispenser placed at the other end. Users will initially be surprised by the shape of the futuristic cogged wheel that is part of a carefully thought-out, innovative mechanism to cut the adhesive tape. The ingenious inner structure of this mechanism holds the tape in place on the spinning wheel, while it is cut at the lower edge by a childproof blade. The tape can easily be removed with the finger or be placed back on the wheel. For effective use, the ergonomic wheel has also been covered with embossed rubber, pleasant to the touch while providing good grip as the tape dispenser rotates. By combining innovative functionality with creative design, the Scotch Tape Dispenser becomes an indispensable, elegant desktop accessory.
Statement by the Jury
This combination of desktop organiser and tape dispenser is extremely modern and practical. The simple and exciting use of form allows it to fit harmoniously into the office environment. The both functionally and ergonomically well-engineered design with its rotating cogged wheel to dispense the tape is fun to use and childproof. In addition, thanks to its colouring, the Scotch Tape Dispenser provides a positive feel.
