Your Fridge Gets the Forest Effect with Leaf Magnets
Posted by Gizmodo US Edition at 6:30 AM on March 21, 2008
Forget fridge magnet poetry— you know you only used it to make up smutty phrases anyway—stick these fridge leaves on that boring metal door, and you'd have your own indoor forest. Granted it would be much more "lovely" if it was made of real leaves not plastic ones, but I reckon they've got a charm all of their own. Designer Richard Hutten created them for office ceilings in a Rotterdam museum, and now they're being commercialised. No word on pricing or availability yet. [Dezeen]

You can buy magnetic paint, too.
I did. Then I covered a spot on my wall near the fridge, about 18" by 24". Then I covered the grey color of the magnetic paint with a color matching an opposing wall.
Another place for magnets!

I have a handful of them I got from Neocon a year or two ago. I've been searching for these out of a desire to coat my fridge in them ever since.

Thats pretty cool, I think I would buy a set if the price was right. Are the bases rare earth magnets or some cheapo magnetic plastic with a weak field?

@Way: ha!
i'll take 500. hopefully they won't cost a dollar a piece but i'm not optimistic since i see "designer [x3-12] created them".

I'd be knocking these things off all the time.

I love these! But I hate posts that leave "No word on pricing or availability yet" for the last line. Get me all excited for nothing.

Buy them when they're immediately released, people, because these have "recalled due to child ingestion hazard" written all over them.
