Wired: 4 Super Cheap but Brilliant Everyday Objects, Curated by a Design Genius

Curated by ACT

Designer Sam Hecht calls himself "a little bit of a magpie." He collects unusual low-cost, functional products that he finds beautiful, clever, and well-made. This page features a slideshow of fourteen of the objects in his collection, including a Danish measuring cup, a paper urinal to use in an emergency, and a glove for painting pipes.
