clampology

Speaking of variations on an old classic...Jorre van Ast has warp-sped your average hardware clamp into an entirely new dimension. His plastic pieces (which are called "Clampology" when referred to as a whole) may look like stick figure renderings for "The Nutcracker, " but are actually multifunctional tools that can do anything from serve as sleek book ends to provide an as-needed coat hook for all the minimalists living in walk-in closets. And when you short a fuse because of mistaking your electrical cord clamp for the dish towel one, you can use the candlestick clamp to light the rest of your way.
