The Giant Paper Clip Handbag
Designer Peter Bristol has brought a new perspective to the humble paper clip.
Designer Peter Bristol enjoys playing with our perceptions of everyday objects. First he created the 'cut chair', the legs of which appear as though they've been sliced through, so the seat seems to be hovering in the air.
Now, he's designed a bag that looks like a paper clip. 'New scale creates new purpose,' reads Bristol's website. 'The binder icon functions so well as a bag you can almost take it seriously.' Made of wool felt and aluminium tubing, the clip bag was conceptualised in 2007 but has only just been released.
Bristol is currently seeking a manufacturing and/or distribution partner, and has put out a call for interested parties to make contact.
Any takers will be working with a multi-award winning designer. Since 2005, Bristol has received professional recognition in the form of 24 various awards, including a 2011 Spark Pro Gold Award for his Microsoft Touch Mouse and an IDEA GOLD for his Nanopoint Microfluidics Controller.
