# Adaptable Ambidextrous Scissors The 'Double Scissors' by Ren Peng Switch According to Needs By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2021-10-01 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/double-scissors References: [yankodesign](https://www.yankodesign.com/2021/10/01/ambidextrous-scissor-features-a-swivel-handle-to-adapt-to-the-left-handed-users/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+yankodesign+%28Yanko+Design+-+Form+Beyond+Function%29) The 'Double Scissors' have been designed by Ren Peng as an ambidextrous accessory that is focused on supporting the needs of both right-handed and left-handed users instead of just one or the other. The scissors feature a design that looks and feels like a traditional pair of the accessory, but reveals a [swiveling pair of handles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eyeq-switchdisc) that can be positioned according to user needs. This means they can seamlessly transition between right-handed and left-handed orientations to make them ideal for multi-person workspaces or classrooms. Recognized by the [Industrial Society of America](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/todd-bracher) for their versatility and impressive design, the 'Double Scissors' were described further by Peng who said, "Trying to adapt to a pair right-handed of scissors is not a reasonable solution for lefties. Double Scissors is a pair of double-edged scissors that accommodates both [left-handed and right-handed users](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lefthanded-athlete). You need only switch the direction of the blade.” ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 10% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Ambidextrous Scissors:** The demand for ambidextrous scissors is on the rise, creating opportunities for innovative designs that cater to both right-handed and left-handed users. - **Adaptive Accessories:** As users have various needs for their accessories, the market for adaptive products such as the 'Double Scissors' can provide innovative solutions. - **Versatile Tools:** The trend for versatile tools like the 'Double Scissors' can disrupt industries by catering to multi-user workspaces and classrooms. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Office Supplies:** The office supplies industry can benefit from developing more products that cater to the needs of both right-handed and left-handed users. - **Education:** As classrooms have diverse needs, the education industry can invest in adaptive accessories to cater to all students. - **Manufacturing:** The manufacturing industry can dedicate resources to producing adaptive tools that cater to the needs of various users, creating new market opportunities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Two-Way Cutter Scissors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hakoake-portable-scissors.md) - [Minimalist Two-in-One Scissors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twoinone-scissors.md) - [Ergomatically Shaped Scissors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ergomatically-shaped-scissors-ergomatically-shaped-scissors-with-a-bat-desi.md) - [Rotating Ergonomic Nail Clippers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rotating-clipper.md) - [Reversible Robotic Hands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reversible-robotic-hand.md) - [Multifunctional Japanese Scissors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zanmai-sakura-scissors.md) - [Ergonomic Swiveling Base Mouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/braun-ergonomic-mouse.md) - [Ambidextrous Folding Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/benchmade-psk.md) - [Advanced Modular Multi-Tool Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flex-shears.md)
