We love Scooterkit; a design and technology project by Ben Wilson where teenagers were encouaged to build and personalize scooters.
Currently on show at the Aram Gallery in London, this project is part of Design Camp, an initiative designed to stop schools crippling individuality and spontaneity.
Amen to that!

The Viana chair by Myface, a brand of coated furniture, is inspired by Saudade and offer a feeling of nostalgia caused by a forgotten memory.
They aim to create this by combining culture and tradition with advanced technology. The coating will protect from ultraviolet rays and offer moisture resistance so they can be outside as well as indoors.
In other words, it’s practically two chairs for the price of one!

This object looks like a simple basic bedside lamp.
However, if you look carefully, you’ll notice a line of junction along its foot which enables to open it and discover a sex toy.
Created by French designer Émilie Cattai, the lamp integrates two functions related to the bedroom: the first logical one is to diffuse a soothing light that helps relaxing before sleeping, and a racier function.
The sex toy suggests sexual needs you have to hide in order to preserve your intimacy.
The Bourrer chair by Dong Dawei is an armchair that has storage for small items such as books, hats, scarves, or other small daily life items.
The framework resembles a cage and is complimented by a Chinese printed cloth covering the cushion.
Not only does it inject colour into the composition, but it also plays a fine line between the Chinese enthusiasm and the coldness of the iron.
Designed by Akika Itoh, these ceramic salt and pepper maraca-style shakers are surprisingly humourous for PlusMinusZero.
Usually, the Japanese company has a more purist and deadpan approach to design.
Variety truly is the spice of life — even if it’s only salt and pepper.
