YOUR CURATOR. HIS COMPLIMENTS.

Meet Sir Orsom.

Excellent taste. Immaculate hair. Modesty under review.

“Practicality is no excuse for dullness.”

Sir Orsom has an eye for useful things with a wonderfully unnecessary sense of drama. FunnyButUseful brings his favorites together—clever objects that earn their place in everyday life and make it a little more amusing.

Choose something for yourself, or for someone whose particular brand of oddness you know rather well. The best finds say “this is so you”—and give them a reason to smile long after the wrapping is gone.

“They’ll think you have excellent taste. I’m prepared to let you take the credit.”
