“It re-solves an age-old product in smart ways, with one-piece clothespin rather than a three-piece product. It is a hook-a new use for this type of product-as well as a clothespin. It is simple and delightful. The designer created a total re-evaluation of the product and created more than just a clothespin with new material.”
