Fellowship of the Ring

This ingenious hybrid of a household key and the standard key ring - aptly named Keybrid - functions even better than it looks. Its distinctive, unusual form shows off it's main function clearly - ordinary keys can be attached to one of these eliminating the separate keyring. But there are other things hoing for it. upon wider use reveals it's advantages become clear. But even if you don't use it as a ring ( i don't - I use a single house key slipped into my wallet) it has several other advantages. The large hole in the center allows you to conveniently stick a finger inside and The wider diameter of the ring offers greater leverage when twisting, making a crisper clean experience. Feels very solidly made, even though it is fused

Skeletal Grip

Minimalist Flatware

Designed by Sori Yanagi, this set of silverware from MOMA has an aesthetic that gracefully straddles the line between being beautifully elegant and cleanly modern. It's curvaceous, organic shapes stand out from other contemporary flatware designs, combining minimalist form with a certain rich sophistication. Made of 18/8 stainless steel with a wonderful brushed satin finish, the set is elegant and completely functional — the spoon's flatter-curved bottoms feel great and stir well; the knife's bulbuous, tulip shape works like a charm. And yes, unlike my silverware from Dansk, this set can be used easly in the English manner — fork upside down in left hand and knife in right. I ordered a single place setting from MOMA initially, just to to make sure I really likes them, and then happily ordered a full set a short time later.
