Paper-Pipe Shredder by Ryoji Takahashi

I completely forgot to write about this last week but I wanted to highlight the winner of the 2009 id Design Awards. Ryoji Takahashi (who works in the design unit of an unnamed company) created this awesome hand functioning paper shredder that quaintly rests on any desk.

The winning design gets commercialized so we can look forward to this one hitting stores in the near future.
