PENCO TAPE DISPENSER

PENCO Tape Dispenser

Desk companion: Industrial tool-style stationery item

流露出復古氣氛的文具,向來是文具迷熱愛收藏的款式,而作為HIGHTIDE旗下的文具系列,PENCO繼承了母公司商品一籬筐、包羅萬有的風格,至於貫穿其品牌設計的特色,是他們汲汲經營的美式復古風。

關於PENCO的種種,其實可以單獨寫一個專題介紹,然而之所以提到它,是因為前幾天逛街時的戰利品——PENCO膠座。相比起年年推陳出新的筆具、手帳等,膠座可能是型錄上最乏人關注的孤僻小孩,通常沒有光鮮亮麗的外表,只有在人們使用膠帶時才會看上兩眼。然而PENCO這款膠座卻叫人眼前一亮,其分為大、小兩款,共有四種顏色,由鋼材製作而成的基座,方正線條帶來了濃厚的工業設計風格,其底部更附有孔洞,供使用上把膠座鑲牆使用。而從我前幾天購入後,它就一直被安放在電腦的旁邊,成為了我案頭上的嶄新地景,而且好像盯著一直看都不覺膩。

Stationery items that carry a retro air have always been popular targets for collection among stationery enthusiasts. As the stationery line under the umbrella of HIGHTIDE, PENCO has inherited its mother company’s style of rich variety, and its defining characteristic lies in its carefully crafted American vintage style.

When it comes to PENCO, I can actually write a feature specifically about it, but I am mentioning this brand because of what fell under my possession while shopping a few days earlier — PENCO’s tape dispenser. Compared to writing tools, planners and diaries which always make new advancements, tape dispenser perhaps is the item garnering the least attention on a catalog. Without a flashy and colorful appearance, they are only spared a glance or two from users when they need to use them. However, PENCO’s tape dispenser arrests your attention. It comes in two sizes and four colors, with a base made of steel. Thanks to its rectangular outline, it radiates a style of industrial design, and there are holes at the bottom for mounting it to the wall. After I bought it a few days ago, it has been sitting beside my computer, becoming a brand new decoration at my desk, and I never seem to be tired of staring at it.
