The design of staple removers can usually fall into two categories - the claw style staple remover and the leverage style staple remover. Both have their strengths and weaknesses, however both designs have existed with virtually no evolution for decades. The product space has not seen advancement because the current offerings are “good enough.” Current staple removers have lifeless forms and in some cases, do not even perform their singular task effectively. I have designed a staple remover that both advances the ergonomics and by extension, its function, and its form, giving the humble staple remover character and emotion while making it a more effective product at the same time. The new design naturally sits between the index finger and thumb and has an inclination to roll backward once held - which is how the product is operated. The visual language of the new staple remover emits a playful character, a stark contrast from the aggressive and angry character current staple removers portray. The new design advances the idea of what a staple remover can look like while keeping the basic function of current options, maintaining its familiarity to users, embodying Raymond Lowey’s MAYA principle.
