Hardware & Hooks

I am always looking for quirky and clever hardware.  So naturally, when I stumbled across these clever designs, I thought it would be great to share the product love:

Ah wall plate covers- ugly little plastic rectangles (or stainless steel if you want to spend a little more) that mar the face of walls everywhere.  Until Bocci introduced the 22 series, these minimal outlets had me saying "Why didn't I think of that??"

r

Bocci 22 Series Outlets |  Installs in mill work or drywall. Available for Telephone, Data, Electrical, Light Switches, Dimmers, Speaker cables, etc @ Bocci or Karkula NY.   I have heard these are about $10 a piece- but for best seamless installation, hire a professional to drywall/mud/tape/finish.

 

Bivi Bike Hook |  $129.00 @ Steelcase

Why does a wall hook have to be utilitarian? Can a wall hook be a conversation starter?




 
Hang Wall Hooks |  $68.00 @ UnCrate

 

Axe Wall Hook |  $49.50 @ Meninos
