The humble binder clip is a simple yet essential piece of stationery equipment for the office that hasn't undergone much change since its inception, which is something that this newly designed option aims to change. The clip has been changed in terms of the handle shape as well as the stress point in order to make it a more functional product for office workers to utilize. The device features a triangular handle along with a four-sided clip that will clamp securely onto a stack of papers, while also shifting the stress point to put less pressure on it and prevent cracking from occurring.
The conceptual binder clip is the design work of JiaYi Cai, JiaLiang Cai and Zhiping Chen, and has been designed in four size options that also use 13% less materials compared to the original clip.
