Japanese Stainless Steel Desk Scissors, Black

We're of the persuasion that the objects we use every day shouldn't just perform their intended tasks successfully — they've got to look good too. Winner of the Golden Pin Design Award, these scissors by HMM definitely have looks going for them (and they're handcrafted in Taiwan from Japanese steel). The extended top bit's a super-sharp boxcutter, and the scissors themselves sit upright atop a magnetic base when you're not using 'em.

Focused on amplifying the tactile, aesthetic details that make everyday objects and utensils human, Japan-based brand HMM thoughtfully reimagines the ordinary. With their meticulously-curated line of writing tools, desk items, and drinkware, HMM makes functional art you can use every day.
