The Little Corkie Picture Rail Lets You Pin and Prop Your Pics

— July 19, 2012 — Art & Design
Instead of having to drill a handful of holes in the walls in order to display a handful of photos, something like the Little Corkie Picture Rail allows you to tack up a collection of items on just two nails. Upon those, you are afforded the freedom of haphazardly hanging your Polaroids and Post-Its for a bit of playful decoration.

This is accomplished because natural granulated cork was modeled into a sort of mantle or narrow floating shelf. It has three registers that culminate in a broader upper ledge, carved with a little trough for the placement of wide and thin items like framed and unframed photos and drawings. Thumbtacks allow you to further turn Erin Deighton's Little Corkie Picture Rail into a pinboard to attach a variety of other trinkets.
Trend Themes
1. Modular Picture Display - Opportunity for creating customizable and versatile picture display solutions without the need for drilling multiple holes.
2. Playful Decorative Storage - Innovation potential for combining storage and decorative elements to add a playful touch to interior design.
3. Multi-functional Wall Accessories - Space-saving possibilities by developing wall accessories that serve multiple purposes, such as holding pictures and acting as a pinboard.
Industry Implications
1. Home Decor - The home decor industry can explore creating unique and practical solutions for displaying photos and small items on walls.
2. Furniture - Furniture companies can incorporate modular picture display options into their designs to offer customers more customization and flexibility.
3. Office Supplies - Office supply manufacturers can leverage the trend of playful and multi-functional wall accessories to create innovative products for organizing and decorating workspaces.
