I (Heart) Carabiners


Who doesn't, really. 


Mainly used to do this,



carabiners consist of a metal loop, a gate and a screw lock. They were invented by German Otto Herzog in 1910.


What I love most about carabiners is their simplicity. Each part of a biner is vital; take away one single element, and it will cease to function. This simplicity is something I'm striving to cultivate in my own design. Throughout my design career, my work has consistently been decorative and elaborate. I truly admire design that is first and foremost functional.


Got my carabiner keychain for inspiration. Just got to keep on truckin'.
