Pushpin Storage Balls

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Pinball is a Sleek and Aesthetically Pleasing Push Pin Holder

— September 22, 2014 — Art & Design
Rather than keeping your pushpins permanently lodged in a board, or taking the risk of being stabbed every time you reach into a pushpin holder, Pinball is like a sculptural pin cushion that keeps these office accessories organized.

The design of Pinball by studioFAR is both functional and sculptural, capable of holding up to 60 pins at once. The silicone-molded design resembles a toy, with a single slot for each pushpin to be placed. Although the design looks clean and sculptural when it's only loaded with white push pins, it would be just as fun to look at when it is filled with a variety of colorful pins. The ball is easy to grab before a brainstorming session and since all of the pointy ends are concealed, it could easily be tossed around too.
