A design in development, not photographed finished stock. Images explore the intended form and use; final colours, dimensions and details may change after physical trials. No orders or payments are accepted.

01 / A drawing, put to use

A small gesture.
An everyday place.

An ordinary roll becomes the centre of a small, open construction. Ribbon Break exposes its simple support rather than disguising it: two uneven walls, a wooden line, and the circle between them. Scratched-looking marks are conceived as filled recesses in the mineral skin. The contrast between reusable weight and a strip that is gradually used up gives the object its quiet sense of time.

02 / Form & function

Useful, without
being ordinary.

These are design targets, not confirmed measurements of finished stock. W = width, D = depth, H = height.

Object
Single-roll paper-tape holder
Size target
Approx. 14 W x 9 D x 9 H cm
Intended use
Keep one small roll of paper tape upright and easy to find on a studio desk.
Form
Two irregular mineral cheeks support a removable wooden spindle above a stable low foot; there is no cutting blade.
Material direction
Proposed cast mineral-composite support with a matte sealer, a smooth removable wooden spindle and felt base pads.
Colour direction
Charcoal, muted cobalt and oxide-red marks are proposed within shallow recesses. The casting, pigment and finish systems will be selected together after adhesion and transfer trials.
Proposed contents
One cast support and one removable wooden spindle; tape not included, soft base/contact pads where needed, and a care card. All glasses, pens, remotes, cables, paper and other styling props are excluded.
Weight
To be measured on a finished prototype.
Development checks
Confirm roll width, spindle fit and stability. The roll is not supplied and this holder does not cut tape; use separate suitable tools if needed. Adult studio accessory.
Availability
Coming soon. No stock, release date or reservation is offered.

03 / Look closer

Form. Reverse. Surface. Use.

Ribbon Break, front and reverse angles, surface detail and intended everyday use
Four visual studies of one proposed design. These images illustrate an intended direction, not certified performance or finished stock.

04 / Before it becomes a product

Small scale.
Considered carefully.

A functional object must work beyond the image. Final materials, fit, applicable product requirements and durability will be checked before release.

Use and fit

Keep one small roll of paper tape upright and easy to find on a studio desk. Confirm roll width, spindle fit and stability. The roll is not supplied and this holder does not cut tape; use separate suitable tools if needed. Adult studio accessory.

A surface that stays with the object

The intended finish uses integral colour or bound pigment in shallow recesses, rather than exposed drawing charcoal or wax crayon. Dry and damp rubbing, adhesion and contact-surface trials must establish the final finish; no rub-fast, waterproof or non-toxic claim is currently made.

Care direction

For indoor adult home or studio use. Until the finish is confirmed, keep dry, dust gently, lift rather than slide and avoid soaking, solvents, abrasive cleaners and direct heat. These objects are not proposed as toys, food-contact utensils or hot-pan trivets. Product-specific instructions will accompany any release.

Simple, protective packaging

A stock kraft carton with smooth protective wrap, folded corrugated pads and paper cushioning is proposed. Individual cells will separate a multi-piece set. No custom rigid box is required for the initial trial. Packed movement, rubbing and impact protection will be checked with real samples; the packaging plan is not yet transport-tested.

Price and availability

The ₩99,000 shown here is an indicative design-stage KRW price, not a checkout offer. Final pricing, specifications, applicable labelling and delivery terms will be confirmed before orders open.
