Nendo's cubic rubber band is an accessory that reinvents the item that first appeared in the 1600s. The English invention is injected with a dose of Japanese design and is transformed into a cubic accessory that is available in black, white and blue colors.
When using traditional rubber bands, many find the accessories too expandable and find that they get looser and looser over time. Nendo's cubic rubber bands are less expandable than their circular counterparts and feature a look that design lovers are sure to appreciate.
The geometric rubber band accessories are sculptural and are easier to find when searching through a messy drawer. They serve as the perfect paper holder and are sold in a set of three pieces.
