Measuring Tape Animals

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Miss Meter is Griaffe Figurine with an Adjustable Measuring Stick Neck

— March 30, 2016 — Art & Design
The Miss Meter is a stylish measuring tape designed to also be a desk ornament for convenient use and access. The tape dispenser is shaped like an adorable yellow giraffe with an adjustable neck that reveals a 6.5-foot long measuring stick that can be used for a variety of office or home projects. The device is conveniently designed to be a playful figurine that can be kept on display for easy access and use.

While measuring tapes are useful tools to have on-hand, the mundane aesthetic of the utensil renders it unlikely that it will be kept out on display after use. The Miss Meter isa stylishly modular yellow giraffe figurine that is cute enough to keep on display after the measuring tape located inside the animal's neck has been used.
