Slow-proofed and worth the wait. Worth its weight in flour.
Summary
Design studio Heirloom presented an exhibition called 'Out of Orifice' during London Design Festival, showcasing 35 different objects that people insert into their bodies for health or pleasure purposes. The exhibition featured items ranging from medical devices like catheters to personal care products like cotton buds and intimate products like butt plugs, as well as recreational substances like acid tabs. The studio's aim was to bring more care and thoughtful design to these often overlooked but essential objects that interact with our bodies.
