Fresh Ideas at Work

Lots of great feedback on the ‘Make a Note of Unusual Combinations’ issue of Fresh Ideas.  Sometimes combinations are evocative because they combine disparate fields in an interesting way, like:

(Design Within Reach) + (Coke) = (a beautiful chair containing more than 100 plastic Coke bottles)

Sometimes the combinations strike a cord because they combine two adjacent fields in a unique way, like:

(tube socks) + (flip-flops) = (Sanuk’s TubeFlop )

What combinations have been making you take a second look?
