Fun stuff from Duncan Shotton

British product designer Duncan Shotton has a playful way of looking at ordinary objects — pencils, sticky notes, soap dispensers, thumb tacks — that makes you look at them in a new way.  Take these Rainbow Pencils, where the colors are in the shavings, not the lead centers. 

​Or this UFO soap dispenser, in which the translucent bottle becomes the spacecraft's tractor beam. 

​I loooove this cassette tape dispenser. Perfection.

You can use these page marker sticky notes to create a 3D scene at the top of your book. 

There's way more to explore on Duncan's online store. He's in the U.K., but ships to the U.S. for a reasonable rate. Go see!
