Fingerprint Potholder

The pattern on Potholder was inspired by the designer Jacob Wagner's fingerprint. There is in fact a reason for the patterns on fingers and hands, he says. It gives us a better grip on things. And what could be more obvious than applying the same principle to a potholder?

That does make a lot of sense. Of course, if it was accurate to Wagner's prints, it could be the basis for the perfect crime. "But officer, they shrank my potholder and used it to plant my prints on the scene!"
