# Redesigned Scissors These Unique Cutters Eliminate Unnecessary Movement By Meghan Young | Published 2010-05-18 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/redesigned-scissors References: [core77](http://www.core77.com/blog/object_culture/spencer_nugents_improved_scissor_design_16582.asp) & [coroflot](http://www.coroflot.com/public/individual_profile.asp?individual_id=110436&) I'm always impressed by designers who take it upon themselves to analyze and redesign classic staples--take the redesigned scissors by Spencer Nugent, for example. Simplifying the whole [cutting process](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultrasonic-cutter), the scissors eliminate the bottom blades' movements, keeping everything still for a cleaner cut. Although just a concept, I have every confidence that the redesigned scissors by Spencer Nugent--or something very similar--will be put into production. Perhaps even by [Fiskars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fiskars-all-steel-santoku-knife)! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 8% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Reimagined-tools:** Opportunity to redesign and simplify traditional tools to enhance functionality and user experience. - **Streamlined-designs:** Trend towards optimizing products by eliminating unnecessary movements and components for a more efficient experience. - **Enhanced-user-interaction:** Focus on improving user interaction and engagement by rethinking design elements that potentially hinder usability. ### Who This Affects Most - **Tool-manufacturing:** Tool manufacturers can explore innovative designs and technologies to create more user-friendly and efficient cutting tools. - **Product-design:** Opportunity for product designers to rethink and reimagine traditional tools, enhancing their functionality and aesthetics. - **Office-supplies:** Office supplies companies can introduce redesigned cutting tools to improve productivity and usability for their customers. ## 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) - [Precise Angular Nail Clippers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rotating-nail-clipper.md) - [Rotating Ergonomic Nail Clippers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rotating-clipper.md) - [Refined Meat Slicing Scissors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/precision-chef-kitchen.md) - [Structural Box Cutter Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/split-box-cutter.md) - [Guitar-Shaped Cutting Scissors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nikken-cutlery.md) - [Durably Designed Box Cutters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multifunctional-box-opener.md) - [Sensibly Sharp Elevated Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-task-knife.md)
