The Wall Plate is such a simple idea but an effective design. It's neat in both senses of the word. It is a multi-functional light switch extension plate that allows users to hang keys, jackets, mail and so on as ewll as being the cover for the electric switch. This nifty device will definitely cut down on commonly misplaced items like keys. The plates can be installed using just the existing screw holes.
The clever designer is Justin Porcano. Apparently he has already been approached by Target and other companies about mass producing this helpful household item.
