Mas Design's simple, elegantly-designed Bauhaus Series of carabiner keychains, all created from a single piece of titanium, are pretty darned sweet. They're also a Kickstarter hit: With over a month left in the pledging process, the carabiners have gathered 1,400 backers, whose combined 58 large well exceeded the original $10,000 goal.
The man behind Los Angeles-based Mas Design is Sunny Inkavesvaanit, who unsurprisingly reveals that something so simple-looking took a long time to perfect: "This collection precipitated from the revision of over 500 designs that were drawn, tested and minimized. The design is deceptively simple, but quite difficult to conceive," writes Inkavesvaanit. "I had nightmares about carabiners for two weeks."
