Hasta La Ideas

We’re seeing so many objects here where the form has nothing to do with the function, as a designer it’s almost… offensive.

Guy on the right is getting his eyeballs massaged, in addition to the top of his head. A company called Breo USA (ironically, a Chinese company based in Canada) makes a ton of different portable battery-powered massagers targeted towards different areas of the body, and he’s wearing their iDream 3 Eye & Head Massager.

Breo’s Mini Body Massagers are designed with different shapes at the business end, depending on where they’re meant to contact.
