Stat Icon Keys by CH Contributor
by Laura Neilson
Founded two months ago by a former Honda car designer, Stat Keys help make cluttered keychains a little more manageable with twelve amusing designs.
Nickel-plated and fitted for standard Kwikset locks, the company plans to expand its key types to include SC1 blanks, as well as others. The designs currently include chess pieces, animals and house icons, with more forms to come in the next few months.
Much like other bespoke tools and hardware items that have been popping up lately, Stat Keys are cleverly-conceived proof that everyday function need not sacrifice good design.
Buy the keys from the Stat website for $11 per key or custom create your own, starting at $130 for the design and $15 for each key.
