Torafu Architects have done it again with their surrealistic design of this Tapehook. Using duct tape to stick something onto the wall may be something that most have thought of before, but these quirky hook designs let you do so while confusing onlookers, as they wonder how a flimsy piece of tape could possibly hold up all these heavy objects.
The Tapehook comes in a variety of pastel colors and users will be surprised to learn that the strips are actually made from paper. Crafted for the the 'Kami no Dougu' (Paper Tools) exhibition held by the Kami no Kousakujo, these featured pieces are surely creative works of art. I think the future of processed paper is safe if handy gadgets like this Tapehook continue to be produced.
