UK designer Michael Sodeau and Japanese company Suikosha have produced a stationery range called Anything.
Manufactured in black, white, orange and yellow, the stationery range includes scissors, a stapler, tape dispenser, geometry equipment, alarm clock and set of erasers.
The collection was exhibited at Design Tide in Tokyo last November.
The following information is from Suikosha:
–
ANYTHING is a collaboration between UK designer Michael Sodeau and Japanese company Suikosha.
Together they have produced their first collection of products, which sees its international debut in London.
Two years in development, and the first phase of an ongoing project shows the collaborators’ vision of practical and functional stationery design.
Further additions are planned for the stationery collection after which they plan to specialise in… ANYTHING.

reply to Zuy:
Why didn’t you do it then?
Simple stuff are sometimes just what we need.

very nice.

“any designer can do that….the totem to scissors is good” …
Priceless quote. Any designer can do anything. I could have designed Starck’s juice squeezer. You could have designed Front’s horse lamp. Marcus could have designed the Macbook. But none of us did that. Why?
Easy. Because we didn’t. This quote is just stupid

I like this range in general because its useful, very Lexon, I agree with Zuy the scissors are fun.
I’m not keen on the clock, there something reminscent of bad London 90’s product design about it.
Also I’m not sure if it holds together as a ‘range’ in terms of style, but maybe it wasn’t the intention ?.
January 7th, 2009 at 2:36 pm
Wow!
This alarm clock is one of best I’ve ever seen.
January 7th, 2009 at 3:49 pm

January 7th, 2009 at 4:27 pm
Back to basic? I like it.
January 7th, 2009 at 4:29 pm
@zuy: give me a break.
January 7th, 2009 at 5:17 pm
Damn triangle would still be hell to pick up/move/put down when drawing/drafting.
January 7th, 2009 at 6:54 pm
The scissorsare catching eyes because it stand up like a Starck product
No Modular you could’nt have designed Starck’s juice squeezer…. nobody could do that , fight against 3 top french architectes and the Alessi team except Alberto Alessi…
Xit is right some product are very Lexon as designed by french Berthet and Massaud

lovely

zuy… I will design a shovel for you, in order to dig a hole to find your IQ.
January 8th, 2009 at 12:45 am
I think the scissors are by far the strongest. The clock’s shape puzzles me.
zuy, do you have a job?
January 8th, 2009 at 2:03 am
simply brilliant.
January 8th, 2009 at 1:33 pm
This generation of designers ie Sodeau, Young etc I find it hard to tell their work apart.
January 8th, 2009 at 7:49 pm
what is the extruded asterisk about
January 10th, 2009 at 2:18 pm
A good effort overall.
Some items are mundane,so is the argument with the poeple here!
My favorite the Clock!!
January 10th, 2009 at 11:08 pm
nevermind “does zuy have a job?”
does he even have a life?
so the 80’s are back to haunt us designwise as well huh? yay
January 11th, 2009 at 1:07 pm
To AL:
The extruded asterisk is a rubber. Its shape allows you to always have a nice corner of rubber to erase.
January 13th, 2009 at 1:33 am
How hilarious. Zuy is either really ignorant… or insane.
“No Modular you could’nt have designed Starck’s juice squeezer…. nobody could do that”
…well actually, Starck did design it, and I assure you he IS somebody.
I would also love to see some of your design work Zuy. Come on… link us!!!

dUDES,
dON’T BE FEEDING OFF NEGATIVITY, NOW…
January 29th, 2009 at 12:21 pm
It turns out Zuy is actually Starck in real world.
