Showcasing at Via Carlo Botta 8, Milan this week has been Love Design, an art and design project that claims to explore “the multifaceted relationship between design and positive feelings such as affection, desire, pleasure and romance, but also jealousy, distance, separation and pain.” The exhibition, which is essentially promoting the forthcoming book of the same name, includes the work of 20 designers taken from the book, art, graphic design, textiles and products which include erotic tableware, mating furniture, soundwave jewellery and other such sensual delights. Highlights include ‘Traces of an Imaginary Affair’ by Björn Franke
, a set of nine tools that leave marks on the body, such as bite marks, carpert burns, bondage marks, love bites, scratches and bruises, Bedside Lamp by Matteo Cibic, which hides a sextoy within an innocent, if rather kitsch, bedside lamp, 1+1 by Frédérique Daubal, a digitally printed his and hers pyjama set and Quisàz-Quisàz by PUPSAM, a double stethoscope which allows you to simultaneously listen to both your own and your partners heartbeats.
