Whimsical Wednesday!

It's the middle of the workweek once again. Maybe you've tossed a few sheets of paper into the trashcan (or back-spaced through a whole paragraph on your draft email) by now?

Wouldn't it be cool to use this notepad at work? The back of each page is printed with a ball design - basketball, football, tennis, soccer, rugby, baseball, golf and billiard. So when you're done with one page, crumple it into a ball with the design facing out, and you'll get these adorable crushed paper balls!

A finalist design at the 2009 European Design awards by Netherlands-based design studio Trapped in Suburbia, the resulting crumpled paper balls are just too cute to be tossed into the trashcan! :)

And for those of you on your computer, wouldn't it be more awesome to highlight and click delete with this equally fun mouse designed by Nendo?

 

Isn't the yummy coloful cable that wraps around the simple white mouse so stylishly pretty? 

Makes it worth getting tangled in mouse cables even if you've already moved to using a wireless mouse! I wish I could get this in the coral, turquoise and apple green (eep, hangover from my previous color obsession here). 

Don't you just love these whimsical design concepts? Have a whimsical Wednesday!
