2 fun sites for home and productivity pr0n
Merlin Mann | Aug 21 2006
Two sites of potential interest to fellow lovers of home and productivity pr0n (both via Mrs. Mann and her humiliatingly addictive Domino Magazine). The Museum of Useful Things is a Cambridge MA-based store and site with sexy, IKEA-esque tools for an organized and interesting home life. I mean who couldn't use a diner-style napkin dispenser, new wave potato masher, or kitchen timer on a lanyard? Prices generally look pretty reasonable, too, making this a good place to hunt for gifts for a housewarming or for students heading off to college. If MUT is similar to IKEA, then russell+hazel is a little more Design Within Reach-y (in terms of dollars). But they carry a ton of nifty, good-looking products for a design lover's home and office. I like the looks of the Three Subject Notebook, the Notebook Jacket, and this foxy Leather Stash Sack. Plus they let you shop by color, which you gotta love. Got a favorite source of home and office pr0n you've been ogling lately? 10 Comments

If you like russell+hazel, you should also check out products by Bob's Your Uncle. They are a little more lighthearted in their approach to organization. I often find them sitting next to each other in the stores I frequent. Unfortunately they don't sell direct, but you can look at some of their products online, then track down a store that resells them. The product that really caught my eye was their OUT, IN, LIMBO folders. http://www.bobsyouruncle.com/product3.html Love your site! -Craig Swanson, http://creativetechs.com/ip » POSTED IN:
