Wouldn’t it be nice…? At Somerset House

Really interesting exhibition focusing on conceptual products that that have the potential to enhance our lives in interesting, alternative, funny or just plain weird ways.

Alignment by Dunne & Raby:

I think their description says it all: “”A small pressure gauge indicates that it is operational. It could go off at any time. When the planets are in the appropriate configuration, the airbag is filled. An explosion of pinkness. It takes seconds, like an airbag in a car crash. Voluminous. Fantastic. A triclinic crystal: a form with no 90 degree angles. Perhaps no-one sees it, only the aftermath. A landscape of shocking florescent pink rip-stock fabric in sharp fractal forms, strewn across the living room floor. When the owner returns home, they decide what it means and what to do. It could be about love, money, or career.”

Exactly.
