If it hadn't been for this article in this morning's New York Times, I never would have discovered the wonderful world of Manufactum. Pretentious? Perhaps. OK, OK - yes. But cool? Oh - sooooo - very, very, very cool.
The Manufactum world... is one that harks back to grand country houses, with chambermaids and butlers and laundresses and gardeners, and therefore requires Japanese pruning saws and twine in a tin.
Oh, that's too funny. I don't know Mr. Cheese. I told you it was pretentious. Did you see the glass nose bath? I'm thinking of getting eebmore one for his Birthday!
You need to forward this to SC. He's rather fond of $80 trashcans. Wait until he sees what his $235 will get him.
