Silicone Card Holders

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Tm Holder is Made Out of Coloful Silicone

— July 13, 2017 — Art & Design
Designer Jiwoong Jung's 'Tm Holder' is a paperweight that separates itself from others via its material. Rather than solid wood, stone, or metal, the Tm Holder is made out of colorful gelatinous silicone. The playful desktop object can thus hold business cards in thin, nearly invisible slits while also keeping one's papers secure.

The Tm Holders come in two different shapes: cubic and cylindrical. Both styles come in several different colors as well, including light blue, pale orange, yellow, sea foam green, pink, and dark grey. The creative paperweights have three grooves for business cards hidden within them — one long slice down the middle and two smaller slices towards the ends (or near the corners on the cubical Tm Holders.)
Trend Themes
1. Colorful Silicone Products - Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating unique and vibrant silicone-based products for various industries.
2. Playful Desk Accessories - Opportunity to disrupt the market by designing fun and functional desk accessories using unconventional materials.
3. Invisible Card Holders - Disruptive innovation potential in creating card holders that blend seamlessly with their surroundings and provide a minimalist look.
Industry Implications
1. Office Supplies - Creating innovative silicone-based desk accessories can disrupt the traditional office supplies industry.
2. Retail and Fashion - Developing colorful and unique silicone products can find disruptive potential in the retail and fashion industry.
3. Promotional Merchandise - Creating invisible card holders can provide a disruptive solution for promotional merchandise companies looking for sleek and modern giveaways.
