HYBRID
Designed was a "simple analog helper" with more than one function. First, various everyday helpers were analyzed in terms of their function and user group. For example, it was observed that a hole punch and a stapler often appear in combination in everyday life. Both are used by the same user group, are intended for the same media, are used in a similar way and have several similarities in their design.

Since the two functions are to be used separately, the lever must be divided into two. The outer lever fulfills the function of punching here. The inner lever fulfills the function of the stapler. To simplify the use, both levers should be operated simultaneously. Due to the simplicity of the materials, the Hybrid can be made in countless colors. Therefore, even more unique and vibrant colors can be used. In times of "home office" and "coworking", the hybrid does not have to adapt to an office furniture, but can also satisfy decorative purposes.
