50/50 is a hybrid desk object made from a standard 50x50 mm aluminum profile, combining two functions within a single compact volume.
50/50 is a hybrid desk object made from a standard 50x50 mm aluminum profile, combining two functions within a single compact volume.
Half of the object functions as a tape dispenser, while the other half acts as a small desk display.The name refers both to the original material section and to the equal distribution of functions.
One aluminium bar generates three pieces: two tape dispensers for different widths and a larger element for unused rolls.
The project is based on a direct and rational use of materials and processes. A single industrial profile and minimal machining reduce production complexity and material waste, while the integration of two functions optimizes

desk space.
The aluminium profile defines the structure, weight, and visual language of the object, resulting in an essential and easily reproducible design that transforms an everyday tool into a functional and expressive desk accessory.
A simple gesture allows the tape to be cut cleanly, guided by a serrated edge shaped by hand, one tooth at a time.
