The Wood Piece Memo Pad Draws You Back to a More Natural Way of Leaving Notes

— February 7, 2014 — Art & Design
When you first set eyes on the Wood Piece Memo Pad, you will almost definitely mistake it for a hunk of lumber. You can't be blamed either because this stack of sticky notes is held within a thin card box that has wood grain patterns printed consistently on every side.

This product is another naturally influenced office supply by Appree that will bring an organic element to your increasingly hi-tech desktop. Each convincingly streaked carton holds 120 sheets of paper that feature this same hardwood motif. Withdraw one leaf from the package at a time to help maintain the tidiness that the lovely Wood Piece Memo Pad promotes. Write your message on it and your note will be noticed for its texture rather than the common neon color.
Trend Themes
1. Organic Office Supplies - There is an opportunity to create more office supplies with natural elements that can bring a sense of calm and tranquility to an otherwise dull workspace.
2. Naturalistic Packaging Design - There is a chance to innovate on product packaging by incorporating organic design elements that make products more appealing to eco-conscious consumers.
3. Woodgrain Inspiration - There is a potential trend in using woodgrain motifs in product design to bring warmth and familiarity to everyday objects.
Industry Implications
1. Office Supplies - The office supplies industry can benefit from creating more products that infuse natural elements into daily work life.
2. Packaging Design - The packaging design industry can innovate on eco-friendly designs that cater to consumers looking for sustainable alternatives.
3. Product Design - The product design industry can take inspiration from woodgrain motifs to create unique and inviting designs that stand out on the shelves.
