Design – “On my e-mail account, I have recently been receiving many images of quirky, sexy – and often trashy – objects. From here, I proposed to Archipanic to write a post featuring eclectic design pieces with an irreverent and erotic style. The selection includes a penis-shaped vase by Ettore Sottsass, Federico Fellini-like curvy pitchers by Ugo La Pietra, Andrea Maestri’s Firepussy vanity mirror, and a ‘scratch and make love’ poster by Troppotogo with 100 Kāma Sūtra positions. Enjoy!”
