I spotted an interesting lamp prototype made of plastic clothespins a couple of days ago in Williamsburg. Trying to find it online proved to be futile, but instead, I came across some very creative uses both for clothespins and inspired by clothespins. Here are some of the ones that stood out.
Sandra Backlund is my favourite. i like her sculptural clothes in wool.
I put a post on my site about her:
