The red is a conviction. Nicolai Canetti, who founded his New York design group in 1980 and spent the following decade collecting awards, designed the ruler as part of that original run — solid steel, weighted to anchor paper while you work, with a standing center edge that functions as a handle for lifting and repositioning. Reissued for the 40th Anniversary, now in MoMA's collection.

Satin matte finish with markings in both Metric and Imperial scale. Arrives boxed with a black pouch. Available in 6" and 12".
