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.
As well as being stocked at Order and Progress the tape is also stocked at the infinitely cool Black Block and Palais de Tokyo in Paris. However, Side Project doesn’t only deal in tape, it dabbles in all things, from chrome milk crates to crazy couches, and even glow in the dark Brain Brooches.
Side Project makes the ordinary extraordinary and proves that re-inventing things is as important as inventing them. Side project tape - holding the world together.
