Floppy ceramic tiles

Unless you are a major geek along with the missus, we’re pretty sure she won’t approve of these ceramic tiles that bear the shape of classic 3.5″ floppies thanks to Australian design firm ENESS. Each of these tiles do not represent an actual floppy disk’s size, since it measures 5.25″ which should be of the softer variety. Cool idea though, although it might not really be the bestseller that ENESS thought it would be when you pull practicality into the picture.
