Portfolio Clutches

Portfolio Clutches

Published March 19, 2012

There are several reasons to like portfolio clutches right now:

  1. You can put your iPad in it.
  2. People ask you if you are carrying a laptop, and you leave them astonished when you offer that, no, in fact, you are not.
  3. Or, you are carrying a laptop, but it gives you the excuse to walk around with this great bag.
  4. You can have your Monocle or IHT tucked easily away into it, without excessive bending of the printed paper.
  5. Said printed media could just as easily be peaking out from under your arm, in combination with said bag.
  6. A4’s or 8.5″x11″ paper sizes wouldn’t be an issue with the right-size clutch.  
The practical person in me would cite any of these reasons to have one of these.  I’ve had one since 2008, but it seems like they are coming back this fall.  I’ll have to dust mine off.

Their products are amazing.  Of note, are the twig-like USB sticks and the wine glass lamps.  The Dutch have done it again, this time, in Eindhoven.  Home of Philips, the late Dr. Eindhoven of ECG-lead fame, and an eerily cool, annual light show.  As Oooms shows, Eindhoven is indeed solidifying their design roots these days.

This vase seems to be encased in a bunch of floating rings.  The flower stems line up perfectly with the shape of the left face of the vessel.  What else, what else?
