Door stop with a hole for hanging on the doorknob.

Posted in: Uncategorized

Don’t know about you, but we have lots of doorstops. There was a time when we collected doorstops; ever searching for The Perfect Door Stop. We actually went as far as drawing sketches for our own door stop design. Well, we’re a lot better now, except for the occasional relapse. Like today, when we found this doorstop designed by Italian design firm Modoloco in Milan and manufactured by Japanese R.F. Yamakawa. We like the fact that you can hang it on the door knob when it’s not in use, and also that they have been able to save so much material without compromising on function (we suppose without having tested it). As far as we can tell it’s available in four different colors, but we have not been able to find a price.brbr

Pen that needs neither ink, nor lead.

Posted in: Uncategorized

A pen that writes without ink? Sure… at first we thought this was a leg-puller and that they simply meant an ordinary pencil. You know, no ink? But after a bit closer scrutiny, it appears they are serious. The pen itself is ordinary steel, but the actual business end; the nib or point, is some alloy that actually leaves metal residue on the paper. It looks a bit like pencil writing, but it cannot be erased. The big thing, besides the obvious wow factor would be that it will not run out of ink or dry up on you. And that it is likely to last pretty much forever. Available from Grand Illusions where it is GBP 15:- (approx. USD 30:-).brbr
