The Last Leaf - Chris Batty

  • “Cool project, but im not so sure this can be considered minimal. It seems over designed in my opinion. I may have missed it, but why is the tape dispenser a leaf?”

I guess I wanted to give the product some personality, apart from that there is none apart from a nice shape. a leaf also works with how the tape needed to be cut.

I call it minimalist as it is a single component, with no moving parts. mechanically its minimalist and the bare minimum material needed to make it work. it ended up being an exersize of how small could I make a tape dispenser, whilst still keeping it useable.

  • “I really like it esthetically, looks beautiful. Just wondering about the functionality and especially how will it lay on the table when not used but with the tape roll attached?”

like so

the roll is still stuck to the leak on the underside, and it can sit on a desk/table like that.
