Hard to Pin Down

Clothes Pegs

There was an exhibit in 2006 that offered viewers a look at a relatively large collection of clothes pins. They are very simple objects, but as a product, there are countless offerings. In a product with one simple (intended) use and hardly any parts, it is interesting to think about how much variation is possible. I like the way the exhibitors described this:

a lesson in the evolution of products, a lesson in change as inherent human need, as well as the need to interpret, to innovate, to say the same thing differently.
