I've been reading a lot of interesting history lately. Not so much the Patrick Henry kind, but more so the history of product design. I find it fascinating how many of our everyday products originated---and how they've transformed our lives. My latest obsession? Paperclips. And after reading the history of the paperclip, my mind immediately gravitated toward this beauty: What looks like nothing more than an art installation is actually a towel rack/radiator for your bathroom. Displayed horizontal or vertical, I'm in love with the look. What's your favorite office supply, and have you researched its history? It's time you did! [Image: Scirocco]
