double match

Every­where I looked, they thought the doublem­atch was an amaz­ing idea. My thought was: “What the heck, did he actu­ally ever used a match to light up some­thing?”. It’s a mir­acle if you don’t burn your fin­gers while turn­ing it on, but when you have to turn it off? What about that? Mov­ing your hand like crazy and it won’t go off because matches are com­pletely unfriendly with both smokers and candle-lovers. That’s why, if you’re using it out­side, you throw it, because only then it will actu­ally turn off, and how about using the other side of a double match that’s been thrown on the ground?

Paolo Ulian, an italian designer, actu­ally came out with some cute designs, I define them cute because most of the time that’s what I think, I’d define them amaz­ing, or amaz­ingly beau­ti­ful, if I thought that. But this time, nope. 

It is true, most designs are use­less, but at least you can put them some­where in your house and think they’re beau­ti­ful while look­ing at them. In Paolo Ulian’s case, you have to use everything he cre­ates, because he wants you to, but you can’t, because the Mat­walk is some­thing I’d kill myself with and the fin­ger bis­cuits takes away all the pleas­ure you have while eat­ing Nutella (and some of you know what I mean).

So, while learn­ing how to be cre­at­ive, I’m also learn­ing to think about what I do, do you?*

*This isn’t a ques­tion for Paolo Ulian, I bet, and hope, he does.
