You know how designers just have to come up with something utterly cool looking for the most mundane items just because? Well the leaf tie is one product that is exactly that, it is basically a glorified cable tie that they have managed to make into something achingly cool and impossibly beautiful for something that is meant to be hidden most of the time.
However nowadays people have a lot of cables and sometimes with things like iPods and iPhones the cable is the iconic white and always on view, so it was only a matter of time before someone came up with something to replace the ugly plain cable ties.
The company behind the ‘Leaf Tie’ is Lufdesign and from the pictures it seams they want people to just tie them onto anything that needs a bit of colour and countryside in a bid to make dull grey urban areas a little bit more ‘leafy’. Plants, flowers and greenery always seem to make me smile but then I am a county boy through and through, I am a massive fan of the cute little ties and would imagine they would sell well in places like IKEA as long as the price is good.
