In response to the uncertain economical climate,whatnot focuses on limited editions of useful,affordable products.The designers concentrate on value-for-money designs,producing editions and useful products rather than unrealizable prototypes.Their collection of affordable objects–"whatnots"–understands the contemporary condition in which emails have replaced letters,flying is a chore,everyone is a winner,and multi-tasking is assumed.whatnot offers an experience rich in materiality and meaning,while allowing for a bit of necessary joy,irrational desire,and simple satisfaction.
