Toothy Extractors



Staples are very old world desktop to begin with, so it's fitting that these staple removers look so old school as well, cast as they are in the images of predators baring their fangs - I feel like they belong on some musty old library desk somewhere in a stately home in Massachusettes. But it's exactly that look that makes them so charming, especially in world of modern computer desktops and sleek futuristic surfaces. Actually, it's probably because of modernism that there's been such a reactionary interest in vintage-looking design ranging from hipster taxidermy to moustaches and artisanal clothing. So okay, these are right on trend.


I should have published this before Christmas as they'd make a lovely Christmas present, but methinks they'll make a charming gift anytime, including for oneself. I mean, how fun would it be to remove staples with one of these little critters? Not necessarily cheap at $78, but good, fun design should be worth an investment. Check out the full assortment of staple removers on the Jac Zagoory website here.
