The device offers a luxe and carefully constructed design that goes far beyond plastic throw away versions with a [sleek, thin and stylized metal shape](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lumon). Unlike most tape dispensers that tend to be standard in shape and design, the Claustrum diverges from this route entirely with a design that is meant to be longl-asting and permanent. The device is made from a [sturdy metal base](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/catchall-design) that suspends the role of tape from above. The tape is threaded through the front of the device to a serrated edge that cuts the ribbon instantly without any pull back. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 7% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: 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 - **Asymmetrical Design:** Designing products with asymmetrical designs can create unique and visually appealing office supplies. - **Magnetic Conception:** Incorporating magnetic features into office supplies can provide convenience and enhance functionality. - **Luxe Office Supplies:** Creating high-end and carefully constructed office supplies can cater to consumers who value aesthetics and quality. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Office Supplies:** The office supplies industry can explore the opportunity to develop innovative and artistic products like the Claustrum tape dispenser. - **Product Design:** The field of product design can embrace the trend of asymmetrical designs and magnetic conceptions to create disruptive and visually appealing office supplies. - **Luxury Goods:** Luxury goods industry can tap into the market demand for high-end office supplies that combine aesthetics and functionality. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sleek Rounded Measuring Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enso-tape.md) - [Modern Wooden Desk Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ofiistory-desk-supplies.md) - [Magnetic Desk Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shearing-magnetic-absorption.md) - [Chic Magnetic Tissue Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tent-acme.md) - [Clipping Pen Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-clippen.md) - [Aerospace-Inspired Desk Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/novium-edge-and-shuttleport.md) - [Nostalgic Compact Clear Cassettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cp81.md) - [Note Clip Organizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/note-clip.md) - [Next-Gen Tape Measures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comandi.md)
