By turns humorous, striking, mysterious and surprising, these photographic pairings by MOSS design shop founder Murray Moss reveal unanticipated elements of the objects' personalities. "Some are duets, or fugues," Moss writes. "Some dance a pas de deux. Many are six degrees incarnate. And others are conversations between strangers who share a bench in the park and discover common ground." Reproduced at the actual size of the original photos, with both the front and the often annotated back presented with equal importance, these artifacts, "retired now from their labors, are akin to those exceptional functional objects that have served their time and have later come to be appreciated, even coveted and exalted, for the extraordinary qualities that lie outside of their original function."

Everything is possible In the world of award-winning Dutch designer Henk Stallinga. A sponge can become a vase, a business card can be used as a knife and fork, and almost anything can become a clock, a chair, an electric light. It's a familiar world, almost logical, but not quite. If museums exist to present objects that will stimulate us to thought, then this inspiring collection of Stallinga's work is a museum in itself. These objects appeal to our cognitive senses and have so much to say indirectly about our world that they give us a glimpse of truth. They subvert the basic tenet of 'form follows function' by discovering, within iconic forms, new functions that are totally unrelated to the original purpose. 
Several works, including Handbag Annie and Coathammer Jut are in the permanent collection of the SFMOMA.
