Side Project Love Hate Lollipop Tape
Love Hate Lollipop Tape is the sassiest adhesive since Swiss hiker George de Mestral invented Velcro when a burr got stuck to his sock. As the brain child of Melbourne industrial designer and Side Project founder Dave McDonald, the tape has already been put to good use, with its matching patterns it is now the ‘wall paper’ decorating the changerooms at one of our favorite Melbourne stores, Assin.
