Things That Look Like Other Things: Pratonzolo Desktop Pen & Card Holder

By Ray Hu - April 15, 2011

"Pratonzolo" is a playful take on a desktop organization solution for writing utensils and business cards, created by Max Battaglia of Givingshape and BBM's Matteo Mocchi (who had a hand in this mysterious Salone preview) for Stylemylife.

The design is pretty self-explanatory, though the fineness of the bristles remind me of a (inverted) brush. Now, if only someone could design one of these with actual grass... like, say, this Flotspotted mini-radio.

I was thinking I could use it to brush my beard, especially when it got around to itchy.
