Potholder, 2007
Danish designer Jakob Wagner's pot holder was inspired by his very own fingerprint. Looking at the ovoid mark and thinking about the purpose of all those tread-like wavy lines, Wagner thought to apply - quite literally - what helps humans grip items with their hands to what they use to grip hot dishes from the oven.
The heat-resistant silicone's raised pattern, taken directly from Wagner's print, provides traction as well as protection. At its center is a tiny magnet, for handy clipping to the fridge.
