simplify, simplify

Sometimes all it takes to make an everyday object interesting (or at least to have it stick out more) is to make it simpler. When it feels like everyone around you is trying to make things betterfasterstronger, making every device able to do everything else (like turning everything into a one man band), it can be... well, alienating. So, why not see how they make it in another country?

Take Kiosk. Based in New York, they are in the business of bringing you interesting things from around the world, focusing on "humble, straightforward and beautiful" objects that are simple and direct.

Their store is not static - often they'll be out of something, and their products are not always the same. Featuring objects from Japan, Sweden, Mexico, Germany, and Finland, it's easy to find something just right.
