About Les Quick L-Shape Ruler
Les is a drawing ruler used to create L shapes quickly and precisely. The tool is based on a traditional 30 centimetre triangle ruler, so it serves two purposes. Movable tabs are placed in the required positions, and the cut guide is then followed with a pen or pencil. Shapes can be symmetrical or asymmetrical, with lengths from 2 to 20 centimetres in steps of 1 centimetre. Repeated measuring is not needed, and the right angle is already set. Les is made of plastic by laser cutting and molding.

- Used material is plastic with laser cutting and molding.
- Design Challenge
- At first I designed several physical L shapes with moving tabs, later teeth and handles. They all worked fine but I found low demand to such tool on the market, so I had to increase the practical side of that. Finally I combined the L shape tool with a traditional triangle ruler.
- Research
- I asked online 50 graphic designers and craftsmen. They liked the idea and found useful but as they don't need that tool every day, so they don't want to buy one, as an independent product. The result, I had to combine that with a common tool.
- Inspiration
- I like the uniqueness of the crafts, so I made my design portfolio holder by my hand.
I had to draw more then 80 L shapes around rectangles, as decorative items. I decided to facilitate my work with a special tool. - Project Duration
- The project started in April 2018 in Budapest and finished in May.
- Operation Flow
- When you have to draw several L shapes, with this tool you don't have to measure every time and the right angle is also already given. It is more precise and quicker way to do that than with a regular ruler or by hand.
