Embrace the Lint Roller

It's one of those items you never think about until you're in dire need of its help. And a bad combination of fuzzy sweaters, wooly scarves and dry static-charged air creates a real need for ... a good lint roller. Which is why we like the sturdy industrial design of this sartorial staple by MUJI, the Japanese company known for their simple, stylish take on everyday items. A sturdy paint-roller shaped delinter allows for heavy-duty fuzz removal while its design looks good enough to hold its own in your office drawer next to that Design Within Reach stapler.

$7 at MUJI

 

FYI

"MUJI" is derived from the Japanese phrase "mujirushi ryohin," meaning "no brand goods."
