Launching the new InstruMMents dimensioning instrument 01 Mladen comments, “There is a real need to rethink how we capture and use dimensions. The measuring tape, for example, hasn’t really changed since its creation in 1860.” “The 01 is an essential tool for everyone who makes - designers, engineers, architects, tailors, carpenters and more. But it’s also for the hobbyists, and even kids studying geometry, design or physics.” “If you think about it, dimensions are incredibly important to us and part of our everyday life. We put up pictures, buy furniture and appliances based on size, and shop for clothes that fit best. 01 is meant to equip most of us with convenient, intuitive, and always accessible way to quickly capture and use dimensions of any object..”
