functional decorating is fab

WIWI: i hate hate hate dealing with wiring. messy and ugly and the whole chance of electrocution is offputting. but wires this pretty might make a good sound system project worth it.


FlatWire is thinner than a business card and yet flexible enough to bend to any angle required for a customized installation. This technology has the same or better performance as conventional wiring.
And most uniquely, when FlatWire is installed correctly, it becomes virtually INVISIBLE.
FlatWire will forever change the way we think about wiring, decorating, redecorating and even new construction. We no longer have to compromise our vision of a room based on the location of outlets or how easily we can move them.
25 ft of 18 gauge wire: $37.25

how college dorm, but expensive

WIWI: i sometimes have separation anxiety when it comes to my clothes. i'm not sure if it'd be worth it to get this chair, plus imagine all the lint that would be flying off the frayed fabric edges, but the real question is whether i can get a matching ottoman.


The Droog Rag Chair by Tejo Remy is layered from the contents of 15 bags of rags. It arrives ready made but the user has the option to recycle their own discarded clothers to be included in the design. Each piece is unique, but it can also become a treasured chest of memories. Rags, metal strips. 60 x 60 x 100cm. Ships in 8 to 12 weeks.
$3,325

it fixes everything in style

WIWI: there was a time when silver duct tape in and of itself was really trendy. people made clothes and shoes and bags out of it. for this snazzy version, red and green are OK, but i would be all over this stuff if they had the bright yellow plaid. i know it has a name, but it's escaping me right now. beautiful.


With so many uses, this economical "sportsman's repair kit" (aka L.L. Bean Maine Guide Duct Tape, Plaid) will be the first thing you put in your hunting pack. Comes in handy for everything from patching equipment to removing dog hair from truck seats. Exclusive traditional plaid print.
2"W, 30 yd. Set of two rolls. USA.
