Ellepi Klizia 97 Staplers
From a Milanese workshop comes this steel meditation on utility. Clean lines, mindful engineering, and the quiet confidence of Italian design for your desk.
Originally designed in 1984 by Oscar Lepre, this hand-crafted stapler emerges from a small, four-person workshop in Italy's Cologno Monzese region outside Milan. Each piece carries the honest character of artisanal production, bearing the subtle marks that distinguish authentic making from mass manufacture.
The design balances practicality with distinctive aesthetics—featuring clean square edges, an easy-push handle, and durable enamel powder-coated finish. Inspired by the graceful forms of ocean giants, the Klizia 97's whale-like silhouette brings unexpected character to your desk.
The steel construction ensures this tool performs as well as it looks, effortlessly handling up to 16 sheets while incorporating a patented anti-jamming device for reliable daily use. The Klizia 97 takes small but mighty mini staples (sometimes referred to as No. 10 staples), with packs of 1000 staples available for purchase separately.
