Karim Rashid designing for 3M stationery products was a great collaborative fit -- just check out the Pebble Collection to see the result of their work together. Fun and funky, Rashid's contemporary signature style goes hand-in-hand with 3M's need to satisfy the wants of kids heading back to school at the end of this month. Yes, time flies.
The Pebble Collection is filled with stationary supplies including tape dispensers and Post-It holders that resemble the smooth stones that it is named after. Available in three colors (metallic purple, pristine white and matted black), they take on a vibrant existence when paired with clashing Post-It notes.
Although ergonomically designed for easy one-handed access, all kids will be thinking when they set their eyes on the Pebble Collection is how cool they are.
