Vintage Brass Grasshopper Tape Dispenser

5.5" long

Mid-20th century, circa 1950s-1960s

A sculptural vintage brass grasshopper designed as a functional tape dispenser; equal parts utilitarian object and desk sculpture. Cast in solid brass with articulatec legs and an open-backed body that houses a standard tape roll, the form is playful, surreal, and unmistakably mid-century in spirit.

This is the kind of piece that turns an everyday action into a joyful experience. It feels like something that lived on an architect's desk or in a design studio, where function was never to be boring.
