In the cult workplace classic, Stephen Root plays a thoroughly weird, thoroughly neglected cubicle drone who quietly endures his worsening work environment –until someone takes away his beloved red Swingline stapler. However, at the time “Office Space” was filmed, Swingline didn’t make a red stapler – Root’s was painted by a set designer. In 2002, at the behest of Office Space fans who kept requesting it, Swingline finally released a red model, the Swingline Rio Red 747 Business Stapler. Retailing for $12, it is now available pretty much everywhere staplers are sold.
