Unlike most paper knives, the organically inspired Nautilus Paper Knife by Nendo has a form that's small and curvaceous, and it was directly inspired by a mollusk's form. The beautifully designed paper knife was made possible thanks to 3D printing and it conceals a blade that makes it easy to slice open envelopes.
The aesthetically interesting and functional shell-shaped paper knife was perfected so that just the right shape, angle and distance could be achieved for optimal paper cutting and its form is deceptively simple. Available in black and white, the minimalist Nendo Nautilus Paper Knife promises to enhance daily rituals, all the while making the task of paper slicing safer and more joyful.
