Introducing, Ostrich! Never before has a paperclip holder been so awesome. The magnetic silhouette takes on the familiar form of the world’s biggest bird. Beautiful on its own, the shiny metallic finish and funky red “sneakers” make it an interesting desktop ornament. Add on the included black paperclips, however, and you’ve got something entirely new! If I had this functional decor on my desk, I doubt I’d get anything done.

“Volcano is a silicone Passover plate. The use of a flexible silicon sheet as a platform carrying the plates represents an alternative to traditional Judaica. The punching of the sheet relates to the holiday tablecloth on one side and serves as a functional means of embracing the Passover plates on the other hand. This work was produced as a limited series and was exhibited in the Museum of Jewish Design in New York and in the Jewish Museum in San Francisco.”

Stackable Stool and Chest by Taiji Fujimori

toma — Sat, 13 Apr 2013 13:26:29 +0000

This furniture, named “Myrtle”, is a storage furniture but at the same time, serves as a stool. Alone it is a “stool” with a drawer; when stacked, it transforms into a “chest”. This furniture comes in handy when you want to quickly put away your miscellaneous things or when you need a place to rest your body. “Myrtle” subtly but surly supports our everyday lives.
The functionality associated with such actions as TO SIT, TO STORE and TO STACK, constitutes a humourous appearance of this stool.
