Overscale Office Supplies

Made of polished steel, wood and real bristles, these giant school supplies are faithfully styled to look exactly like the tiny originals. Although I'm guessing that the scissors and eraser may not actually work. And the ruler may be not be entirely accurate. If you're looking for more oversized home accessories, you'll find more here.

I know John Derian's fantastic platters are now available at Target, but this one definitely caught my, um, attention. It's not quite as affordable as his Target line, but I'm just smitten with this design.
