Stick With It

In our ongoing quest for office supplies that are both functional and inspirational, we have discovered Stickytape, a hefty roll of clear packing tape printed with quotations and advice from leading designers. The adhesive-backed, sans-serif wisdom ranges from practical suggestions (“Think first before you put anything on paper or computer,” recommends Wim Crouwel) and affirmations (“Trust your eyes”) to terse directives (“Focus”) and management tips (Adrian Shaughnessy’s “Always employ people who are better than you”). Meanwhile, Daniel Eatock is out to save lives, warning “Never tie your shoe in a revolving door.” Designed by James Greenfield for British creative hub Blanka, the tape proves that good advice sticks.
