# Undulating Office Supplies The Waveboard Clipboard is a Whimsical Play on the Waiver By Amelia Roblin | Published 2012-01-14 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waveboard-clipboard References: [industrialdesignserved](http://www.industrialdesignserved.com/gallery/WAVEBOARD/1733673) Perhaps there are too many right angles and flat surfaces around one's workstation, making the Waveboard Clipboard a more dynamic addition to your [desk drawer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deskterior). The German company, New Works, which designed this curvy document organizer specializes in [folders, stationery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/note-clip) and restaurant branding, and this is one of their most sculptural products. It could prove to be ever so slightly more difficult -- or perhaps just different -- to fill out paperwork on this [sinuous surface](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/archvyli), but the curvaceous Plexiglas Satinice backing would make a great holder for a menu. The arching shape makes minimal contact with wet and messy tabletops, keeping the carte looking clean and fresh like each item it lists. Available in five colors, the Waveboard Clipboard is suitably called a "beautiful balance between elegance and modern charm." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Curved Office Supplies:** Opportunity for companies to design innovative office supplies with curved and dynamic shapes. - **Sculptural Stationery:** Exploration of artistic and visually appealing stationery products that stand out on desks. - **Functional Design:** Demand for office supplies that offer both functionality and aesthetic appeal in the workplace. ### Where This Applies - **Office Supplies Industry:** Companies can create unique and unconventional office supplies to cater to the demand for innovative products. - **Design and Branding Industry:** Opportunity for design agencies to collaborate with brands and create sculptural stationery that aligns with their brand identity. - **Hospitality Industry:** Restaurants and hotels can explore the use of aesthetically pleasing stationery products like the Waveboard Clipboard to enhance their branding and customer experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Illuminated Stainless Steel Clipboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fold-b.md) - [Angled Workstation Whiteboard Organizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fluidstance-slope.md) - [Off-Kilter Desktop Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concept-pen-holder.md) - [Curved Desk Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flow-set.md) - [Snap Binding Minimal Clipboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-jacket.md) - [Undulating Desktop Valet Trays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wav-minimal-desk-organizer.md) - [Whiteboard Workstation Organizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deskboard-buddy.md) - [Curvaceous Analog Designer Rulers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rulerc-concept.md) - [Playful Wavy Table Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wavy-table-design.md)
