The cover features bolts of different sizes, screwed and stacked
together to make rustic, but also beautiful candlestick holders. Who would
have thought? I certainly wouldn’t have, and I spend more time in
hardware stores than most. I also possess a good eye for design,
but that isn’t enough to have come up with these original and
inspired ideas.
The creativity inside covers ground ranging from practical to whimsical to inspiring. What I like most is the combination of items we regularly see in the context of hardware - useful things, meant for a certain purpose - seen from a different point of view; stretched and modified into something of beauty and sometimes usefulness, but not in the way we expect. I love how this stretches my own thinking of what is expected and what is possible and how the one often keeps us from discovering the other.
