For women’s handsRapid has developed the new ESN range of tackers (ESN 114 in illustration), which is suitable for the smaller hands of women. The range includes three models for three different types of staples or brads. The impact force is automatically adjusted by the pressure of the hand: the harder you press, the more powerful the stapling effect. This focused power feature allows you to go from stapling one material to another without having to change the impact force manually.Isaberg Rapid, S-330 27 Hestra, www.isaberg-rapid.comAdaptable hinged frameNew to the programme of Display & Design is “SwitchLine”, a hinged frame that can be transformed from traditional to modern, blue to red, or from metal to wood and vice-versa in just a few seconds. This is achieved by adding decorative elements of paper, plastic, wood or metal to the aluminium moulding, which is a registered design. The hinged frame is simply opened up, the decoration inserted and the frame closed again.Display & Design Helmut Amelung, D-51491 Overath, www.display-design.deIndividual table designEurofusta is introducing Decolux, a new idea in table-tops with reversible finishes and matching invisibly installed shelves.
