Coppertist.Wu's Chameleon Tape Measure Fits on a Keychain

— July 19, 2021 — Art & Design
Designed by the novelty item company, Coppertist.Wu, the chameleon tape measure is both quirky and functional. As nature-inspired designs are becoming more popular, this brass tool showcases the detailed artisanal craftsmanship required for such items.

The chameleon's body measures 1.9 inches, making it easy to carry in a pocket or on a keychain for daily use. Made from brass and manganese steel, the chameleon tape measure boasts a two-meter measuring tape. The tool unravels from its mouth, mimicking the animal's extended tongue. Quirky in design, every Coppertist.Wu piece is hand-crafted by the brand's skilled artisans using both ancient and modern techniques. The brand aims to preserve ancient techniques by making them more relevant to modern days.
