Call it a transnational tape-off, two designers, one from the East coast and the other from the West, both recently came out with a roll of packing tape printed with lace.

For more clever tape: Screwhead and Dovetail Tape, Tape-tastic!, and Camo Duct Tape

About Time
Dutch designer Buro Vormkrijgers' rotating concept clock "About Time" reveals the passing of time by rolling around your desk and telling time in one long continuous sentence. Vormkrijgers intends for the cone-shaped clock to subvert the minute-to-minute planning of today's over-booked lifestyles by simply telling you "It's about six o'clock" or "it's almost seven now."
