Description
Why does the printer jam only on Fridays? Why does the screen flicker at exactly 3:13 every afternoon? At a small design studio in Lyon, the staff have a theory. They call him Gaston, the ghost who lives in the old desktop machine in the corner, and they leave a chocolate on the keyboard each Halloween to keep him happy. Nobody admits to eating it, and the files are always saved by morning, somehow. Gaston, they suspect, is simply a perfectionist.
This porcelain ghost perched atop a computer is a perfect nod to every mysterious glitch. Compact and full of character, it suits a programmer, a gamer, an IT hero who rescued the office network or a colleague who works late. Set it beside a monitor or on a cubicle shelf for a seasonal smile, and use the little space inside for a flash drive cap, a paper clip or a sweet. It is equally welcome on a home office desk. Its cheeky subject makes it a lighthearted break from serious work.
