A lesson in miniature design… to think about
This tiny detail embodies what’s called invisible functional design : essential, yet unadorned. Like a subtle stitching on a garment or the balance of a perfectly seasoned dish, it goes unnoticed, yet makes all the difference .
In short, this tiny hole reminds us that even the simplest objects can be the result of brilliant engineering. A quiet but useful reflection, to be pondered well beyond the sewing box…
The next time you use a pin…
Take a moment to observe it. Feel the tension as it opens. Listen for the little click as it closes. Look for that discreet hole. You’ll never look at a pin the same way again.
Hidden within this almost invisible detail is an inspiring idea: sometimes it’s the most discreet elements that make the whole work . A reminder that even “small inventions” can reveal admirable technical intelligence .
What if we started looking at everyday life with a more attentive and curious eye ?
