WSS FIELD NOTESThe oddity
The oddity
has a point.
It may look like a punchline. Look closer: what it does, why it caught our eye, and who would actually enjoy it.
What do you do with it?
Pull a tack from the roll, pin a note or photo to a suitable board, and return spare pins to the sushi cushion.
Why it made the cut
It is a desk object that briefly looks edible. The reveal happens when you discover every 'egg' is actually useful stationery.
Who would love it?
Sushi fans, corkboard keepers, and coworkers who prefer their office supplies to provoke a second glance.
