Adhesive tape dispenser oak and maple

This adhesive film dispenser from Steinhöring, Bavaria, with its wooden base is reminiscent of an old-school scientific functional model. Design-wise, the combination of the very different materials (oak, maple and stainless steel) is particularly convincing. Its appearance is not diminished even by tape rolls with a less attractive core, as this is concealed by two stainless steel rounds. By the way, the stainless steel elements do not rotate when unrolling, only the adhesive film starts to move. The desk utensil is suitable for standard adhesive film rolls with a width of 19 mm and a core diameter of 25 mm.

In desk matters, the working world is divided into "full-cabinet makers" and "empty-cabinet makers". The one likes a work surface overgrown with thousands of things, the other a place of action of almost Japanese-like emptiness. If you ask the experts, the "empty-desk person" has a clear advantage: they say that for the sake of concentration and order of thoughts, as little as possible should be stored, but that it should be well sorted and quickly accessible. And in order that this rather simple wisdom can also be applied with scientific dignity, it is chased through the village or through the office rooms as a "Clean Desk Policy". The claimed "new clarity" is, however, quite the old one - the well-known designer's saying of "less" being "more" is and was, after all, also valid in the working environment.
