Blomus 68708 Stainless-Steel Measuring Tape
German products firm Blomus brings together clean, modern design by European designers and excellent German craftsmanship. This tape measure, for instance, is one any executive would be proud to keep on a desk. Housed in a matte-finish, stainless-steel case, the retractable stainless-steel tape measures up to 10 feet (3 meters) in both inches and metric. A stop button locks the tape open at the desired length, and a metal lip on the tape hooks under molding, around a door frame, on a table edge, etc. A handsome gift, the case measures 2-1/2 by 3/4 inches, and complements other contemporary Blomus desktop items, such as a stapler, tape dispenser, and business card holder.Blomus is the brand name launched in 2001 for innovative stainless-steel products by SKS-Design, a family-owned German design company now run by the family's fifth generation. Comprising more than 500 items for the modern kitchen, bath, bar, fireplace, office, and outdoor patio, Blomus products embody this philosophy: Good design is both simple to use and beautiful to look at. This tape measure, like most Blomus products, is made in Germany.--Ann Bieri
