About Click 穴あけ不要ステープラー
Clickは、主に学生に向けてデザインされた穴を開けないステープラーである。紙に穴を開けることなく書類を綴じることができ、繰り返し使用できる金属製クリップによって紙面の状態をそのまま保つ。クマ、モンスター、子ブタといったアニメ調の動物モチーフが、遊び心のある表情を与えている。内部構造と人間工学に基づいたフォルムにより、自動かつ連続的な挟み込みが可能となり、書類整理をより素早く行える。本体は射出成形によるABS樹脂製で、模様はスクリーン印刷によって施されている。シンプルな素材構成と再利用可能なクリップが、製品にサステナビリティをもたらしている。

- Production Technology
- The components of this product include plastic enclosure, metal spring, and metal clips.
The enclosure is made of Abs plastic injection molding and the pattern is made of screen printing at low cost. - Design Challenge
- The biggest challenge is the ergonomic design of the product. Because the product is a handheld tool, the appropriate size and shape curve are required to optimize the use experience.
- Research
- Investigate the needs and preferences of student user groups to determine the function, shape, and color of the product.
- Inspiration
- Students have a great need for document organization, while there is no traceless stapler on the market that is specifically designed for and loved by students. By conducting user research such as interviews and questionnaires on campus, we identified cartoon images such as bears, monsters and piglets as the main design elements. We hope the design can increase the fun of using stationery and improve users’ learning or office efficiency.

- The project runs from March 2022 to February 2023 in Ningbo, China
