Sometimes, Product Design just Kills It!
i think, on many levels, that these little doosies, these trouser-saving ankle clips are just totally awesome. although ive reposted from a thread on londonfgss about a different subject, the whimsy involved in these is just amazing to me, and needed a repost that focused solely on them.
designed by Gijs Bakker, one half of the founders of the Droog Collective, these bad boys hit a number of sweet spots, product design wise; they achieve their goal (save trousers from grease / wear & tear); they provide slightly more safety (as they are reflective) and they toss in a dose of whimsy, a la Mercury. although they are made of a single polymer (making manufacture and recapture easy), on the downside, they are made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) a big no-no these days, due to the fact that any product wears down with use (abrasion), and this one will release chlorine - that which kills life.
