You can cut things with them
About
Scissors Place is a rotating gallery of scissors - each one different in shape, color, and cultural story. The site brings together tools from across the globe, captured in motion to highlight their design, detail, and personality.
I’m Alon
Basically, I really like scissors
I started picking them up wherever I found a pair with character - drawn to their surprising variety and the way they reflect local design and culture. Eventually, friends and family joined in, spotting scissors on my behalf. Now it’s a growing collection.
My scissors tattoo - I'm Fully committed
Making It Rotate
Photographing scissors in 360 degrees turned out to be harder than it looks
I built a rotating rig to hold them, removed the grips in every single frame, and created a scaling system to keep everything consistent across the gallery
It’s an ongoing project,and I’m Still adding more
Thanks
To my family, who keep sending me every pair of scissors they come across.
And to Talya, Lydia, Eli, Gad, Yossi, Daniel, Noam, Tal, Nitzan, Ram, and Hadar - thanks for spotting, sending, and supporting along the way.
And to you - thanks for visiting, scrolling, and maybe even seeing scissors a little differently now.
