In 2011, American industrial designer Jeff Miller took over the role as head designer of the über popular modern office accessory company Poppin . The native New Yorker leads a team of people that are just as committed to creating the most clever and colorful office products as he, and with over two decades of skills, he’s the perfect man for the job. It’s clear he has a passion for the tools of the trade so it’s no surprise his Friday Five takes a look at five decades of writing utensils. Photo source 1. Parker Slinger Must have been about 1978 that I wore one of these around my neck…everywhere

When not in use, it can sit on the counter and look like a beautiful kitchen accessory.

The Home Traveller is a modern home accessory, made as a combination between a handbag and furniture.

Dubbed the Home Traveller because it is designed to travel throughout the home, rather than being a fixed piece.

If you’re going to a party, take the dessert you made, a change of clothes, cell phone, keys, whatever you may need -  and you’ll have an extra place to sit!

Home Traveller is designed by Anne Lorenz, a product designer based out of Germany.
