River (by Ilya Postnikov)

I think that many people could have arrived at wisdom, if they hadn’t thought that they had already arrived, if they hadn’t pretended things about themselves, if they hadn’t passed things by with their eyes squeezed shut.

Tweezers | Clemens Auer

Clemens Auer‘s manifesto states that he searches for the simple yet astonishing, and that is precisely what he achieves with his award-winning tweezers. The Austrian product designer drew inspiration from one of the human body’s archetypal gestures: thumb and index finger forming a pinching motion. As he states: It is a poetic and intuitive translation of an image that feels just natural into a simple product.

Made of a single steel strip, the tweezers allow different ways of holding, using, pinching, in different ways of ergonomics. The form and size are even comfortable for men and women to hold securely.
