Fabrica has come up with the some admittedly interesting but practically useless tools that they will be displaying at the [Paris ToolsGalerie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eye-tracking-device) from November 5th through November 12th, 2009.

'This & That' is the name of the collection which features the [glass bells](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cassina-2) created by Fabrica. Check out more of the glass hammers, fire extinguishers and all other [artistically inclined tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dpartment) which will be at the Paris ToolsGalerie at the link below.

**Implications** - While many consumers might rely on products solely for their use or function, others with boundless imaginations might relish in products that offer some ambiguity or mystery.
