It would be neat if every ID school had one of these. Switzerland’s ECAL has an online Digital Market where they sell the .stl files of objects designed by Master Product Design students, alumni and faculty.
The nature of most of the objects is functional but designey. Some examples:

One catch is there are no details or descriptions of any of the objects, beyond their name and dimensions. I have no idea how the Magic Tape Dispenser works, nor what type of ink cartridges the Pen takes, for instance. That seems like a weird oversight for an otherwise nifty idea.
Every file costs €9 (USD $9).
