Small things of beauty and simplicity in a complex world

While visiting our son in his shared house a couple of days ago I was struck by the things his house mate had made to add convenience and use of space to the otherwise fairly un-ergonomic dwelling.

The coat hooks could easily have been displayed in the Conran shop; his shoe rack and key storage meuble an item of creativity and ingenuity. My favourite of his ouvres was the kitchen accoutrements housing arrangement - featured below. If he decides against roofing/major carpentry after his apprenticeship , I think he could certainly find a ready market for personalised house organisation. William Morris would certainly have approved . . . beauty and function.

A thing of beauty

I think William Morris would have liked these.



Yes, its a tiny thing in the face of all the MASSIVE plastic issues our planet and we are facing, but if we all bought wooden dish-brushes rather than the plastic versions . . .
Monoprix make, or at least sell these for just over two euros and they are a small work of art in every way.
