Do the Right Fling

Fling Design Company

Commitment: It’s not the word that you shy away from but the implications of the word.

You prefer freedom in matters of romance, fitness, taxes, and art. 

What you want is a good fling. Like, say, Fling, a small Chicago-based company that brings contemporary artists’ designs to the masses.

As an expert in the fib department (it’s not you, it’s me), you’ll adore the Little Box of Lies, a set of pins or magnets with waggish phrases like “I’m listening” and “It’s great to be here.” 

For a little wry with that smile, try the aluminum business card holder that asks, “Don’t you know who I am?”

Carry it all in the Onelessbag, a canvas tote silk-screened with a picture of a plastic bag. It’s clever, ecofriendly, and economical.

It just might be something you actually stick with.
