LIVING PRODUCTS


Fascinated by this brass bottle opener by Sakai, (doesn't it make you want to open up something cold and crisp?) So I looked up the designer, Oji Masanori, who says he designs "living products." I think the same phrase applies to the energy here at Mirth. When I look at the individual objects, I picture them in a bright kitchen or a cozy living room, or sitting atop a desk by a sunlit window. The small red-rimmed bowl is full of raspberries, and the blue glass ink well sharpener is full of shavings. Each object is also a poem, a picnic, a spot of light on a dinner table. Come and see the life in this lovely store. You'll find something new and beautiful.
