Odd product of the week: hamster shredder
Being a big fan of efficiency, I was a bit disappointed to discover that the hamster shredder isn’t a product currently in production but an art/design prototype by Tom Ballhatchet. I rather like the ‘two in one’ idea of shredding sensitive documents to automatically provide bedding for your furry friends (and don’t let the name alarm you, it’s definitely designed to shred paper, not hamsters).
I’m not sure if the documents used in the images (a council tax bill and an Inland Revenue self-assessment tax notice) are designed to just be ’sensitive material’, or if there’s a deeper comment on bureaucracy being made by the designer. I guess we’ll just have to use our imaginations.
