New obsession: Manu by Lauren Manoogian

I first saw one of these necklaces at Maryam Nassir Zadeh—

arguably one of the best boutiques on New York's LES—and I was instantly smitten, and then thrilled to find them online here at Creatures of Comfort. Manoogian crafts her pieces from paperclips and vinyl tape and while they're officially necklaces, I almost want to splurge on one to hang on my wall. They're really cool and unusual—and much different than anything I've seen in a long time. What say you all?
