Six drawings included, from 1897 to 1918
Niagara in 1897, McGill in 1900, Ideal in 1902, Weis in 1904, Owl in 1908, Mogul in 1918. Six paperclip models born at the turn of the 20th century, which Tools to Liveby has revived one by one and put back into production. The original designs were not altered just to look nice; they were adapted for today's use, so they really hold the papers instead of just sitting on display. Each model comes in sets of ten, packed in a small cardboard box with muted colors that you keep on your desk long after it's empty.
THE RETRO PAPERCLIP SERIES
What sets these six models apart
Six drawings, six dates
Niagara 1897, McGill 1900, Ideal 1902, Weis 1904, Owl 1908, and Mogul 1918. Each box corresponds to a dated paperclip model, not a shape invented to look old.
Suitable for today
The original design has been adapted and adjusted for everyday use. These paperclips fit into a desk tray and are used daily.
The box is part of the object
Each series is presented in a small cardboard box with muted, understated colors that sit on the desk without clashing with the rest.
Ten paper clips per box
The box contains ten paperclips of the same model. Enough to keep an office running daily without ending up with a whole drawer full of supplies.
A series that completes itself
The six models form a series. You choose one for its shape, or you line up the six boxes and the twenty-one years that separate them.
The idea of Tools to Liveby
The brand, based in Taipei, strives to make everyday life more enjoyable, even the most ordinary office item.
