Franco Clivio has been collecting anonymously designed objects for decades.

Here's part of the collection, which will be featured in a recently opened exhibition called No Name Design.

Clivio's collection spans everything from eyewear.

To paint brushes.

In 2009 Clivio published a book called Hidden Forms, which looked at the collection in depth.

The exhibition is a more tailored look at the stuff Clivio has gathered over the years.

Clivio has organized the collection by function and form.

Most of the objects come from anonymous designers.

To be honest, I couldn’t name half the objects in Clivio’s collection, but it’s clear that each has its own very particular function.

It’s likely that many of these items have since been replaced with far more efficient versions of their former selves, yet their capacity to solve a specific issue renders them useful and beautiful nonetheless.

The show is a celebration of the well-made everyday.

It just shows that good design doesn’t necessarily need a big name designer attached. In fact, it doesn’t need a name at all.

he most sustaining objects in our lives are the ones we barely give notice to.

Which might actually just be another form of appreciating them.
