Minimal Stationery Adds Geometric Shapes With Smooth Functionality To Your Desk

Taiwan-based HMM is presenting a new collection called Clever Work, a line of stationery that aims to aid you in your daily tasks. The collection features a curated selection of geometrically-shaped essential items, including a Utility Knife, Ballpoint Pen, Pencil, Scissors, Paperweight, and Magnet Cable Organizer.

The Utility Knife takes center stage in this selection, designed to tackle various tasks with precision and efficiency. From woodworking to leather trimming, this knife proves to be a reliable companion. Notably, it features a clever magnetic ruler attachment on the back.

Regarding safety, the Utility Knife employs a wide blade and a super-thin ruler on the back features a 15° curve, facilitating easy cutting, slicing, and trimming while reducing the chance of any pesky cuts.

The Ballpoint Pen, on the other hand, boasts a lightweight and ergonomic design, to get you through any long stints of writing. Its dodecagonal aluminum alloy barrel and anodized surface minimizes the chance of corrosion and makes it smooth to the touch.

As for the Scissors, besides their primary function, they effortlessly double as a box cutter when held in reverse—the circular handles come with detachable gaskets inside, providing added comfort during prolonged use. When they are not in use, you can place the scissors into a circular magnetic base, where they will stand upright on your desk.

The collection is currently part of a Kickstarter, where it has exceeded its goal. Prices range from US$34 for the pen and US$186 for the full set.
