Klhip


I love to see revisions of well know objects. Nailclippers haven't changed almost since its invention, originally designed back to the early 1900's with patents extending back into the late 1800's. Klhip is attempting to change the look of such an iconic product with this rather attractive design. It claims to cut better with pressure applied directly to the top of your nail, while providing better ergonomics. At $50 ($80 if you want the leather case), I doubt people will rush out to replace the old cheapies. I wont. I tend to lose small things and a $50 nailcipper would suck to lose. Nevertheless, its a cool design and would be a great replacement for the original. I your interested in purchasing one, heres the link.

I want...

"Italy’s own Toscoquattro offers this cool washbasin-vanity combo that no modern bathroom is complete without. This contemporary two-in-one piece designed by A. Forte and C. Di Marzio is ideal for compact bathrooms, combining two essentials into one practical and style-savvy fixture. But regardless of your bathroom’s size, this combo unit boasts big style. The geometric yet gently rounded square base is but an empty frame, leaving an open interior to lighten the look. Add an optional compartment for convenient but out-of-the-way storage. Topping off this modern vanity is an integrated washbasin, complete with a raised shelf for your soaps, lotions and potions. A contemporary single-lever mixer and the luminous, LED-illuminated wall mirror round out your washing area. Place this freestanding fixture up against the wall or in the center of your bathroom; either way, it’s sure to take center stage. Check out this washbasin-vanity combo at Toscoquattro."
