There is a particular joy in owning something that does almost nothing well. Not broken — just deliberately, stubbornly unhelpful in the best possible way. A vase shaped like a question mark. A clock that tells you what time it isn't. These objects ask something of you: why are you here?
We've been conditioned to evaluate things by their utility. But utility is a narrow lens. The objects we remember — the ones that sit on our shelves for twenty years and still make us smile — are rarely the most efficient ones. They are the ones that made us feel something.
Funny Business exists in that gap. Between purposeful and purposeless. Between design and art. Between the serious and the absurd. We think that gap is the most interesting place to make things.
