The Moby Stapler designed by Hagai Zakai for Monkey Business also has stapler storage. The whale-shaped stapler has a compartment in the head for additional staples. Inspired by the classic tale of Moby Dick, the oceanic stationary is a fun and functional addition to the home or the office.
The Israeli designer came up with the whale after realizing that staplers have mouths. The stapler comes in both white and black styles, resembling the iconic albino beast from the book, or else a formidable killer whale. The stapler storage is particularly handy for keeping track of extra staples when you run out. However, the product does not come with staples; they must be purchased separately.
