Heart-Warming Small-World Story

When we were in Vienna, Ross' classmate (who is from Vienna) gave us the heads up on a few great coffee shops to hang out in. One of them, Das Möbel, is both a coffee shop and a design store. The interior completly changes every few months, and if stocked with the fresh work of local designers. Everything in the café us for sale and has price tags hanging off it.

Obviously we loved it.

The art on the wall was also hip and strange, and Ross told me it looked like the type of art I made. I corrected him and told him it was the type of art I wished I made.


After three days in Vienna, Ross' classmate and his girlfriend from Berlin joined us. She mentioned something about Das Möbel selling some of her stickers, and after some clarification I realized the art we admired so much was hers. Crazy, eh?

This delightful gal's company is called Can't have it? Stick it., and she creates stickers of things that people might desire, but aren't able to for one reason or another. Like a plant that your apartment might not have enough light for. Instead of just wishing for the object, you can stick an image of it to your wall. It's the next best thing!

Her website is here. Buy something now before she becomes recognized for the genius she is, and the price of everything doubles.
