Munuka Magnetics’ product design project is the new Manuka Belt, made exclusively out of magnets. The inventive new product recently launched and is finally ready for its first orders.
The belt is novel for its unorthodox structure that uses a series of magnets that act as virtual clasps instead of holes and buckles. The Manuka Belt delivers a smooth look with its reinvented design and sturdy material: the neodymium rubber composite. Strong magnetic poles help avoid slippage and hold your pants right up. The juicy part of this new project is that the designers allow the customers to choose from a wide variety of colors in from their palate or send their own print of choice for their Manuka Belt purchase.
Efficient, simple, and customizable, Manuka Magnetics hit the design quality right on the head.
