Thumbtacks

Jellyfish Thumbtack

Thanks to a simple but well-done design trick, this office accessory reduces the risk of injury when using thumbtacks. The metal tip is enclosed by a flexible hemispherical umbrella that gives the product the shape of a jellyfish. Once the pin is pressed onto a surface, the soft material bulges out, making it easy and safe to grip. A cheerful colour palette makes for a friendly look.

Statement by the Jury

The intelligent design of the Jellyfish Thumbtack impressively demonstrates how small changes in the design can make everyday objects much safer and convenient to use.
