The Flower Nail may be a decorator’s answer to plain and manly hardware that is not in the slightest bit stylish. It also provides a fun enticement for women who are interested in stereotypically male professions and hobbies. While something like a Flower Nail may defeat the purpose of satisfying such interests, it does provide a feminine twist to the masculine dominated arena. As its name strongly suggests, the Flower Nail is shaped like a flower.
Created by Japanese product designer Masaharu Ono, the Flower Nail comes in packs of six. Since it has a sturdiness to it that equally pretty pins lack, the Flower Nail can replace the typical hook while adding to the overall interior decor of a home or office.
