You can either be a prude and get shocked at this post (in this case I suggest you move on to the next post) or enjoy the sensual display of the human form as it brings SEX into the industrial design world. Call it lusty, erotic or whatever you want but the truth of the matter is that sex sells in any industry, so why should ID be different! Here is a look at the ten sexiest items that display erotica effectively in ID.

10) Immaculate by Hans A Huseklepp

Tell me honestly, were you looking at the prosthetic limb, or the sexy plunging neckline of this girl! Although Immaculate is a neurological prosthetic connected to the users central nervous system, it takes the woman in the picture to make you realize that an amputee can look as sexy as a runway model.

9) Puma Starck Naked Body Wear by Philippe Starck

Near-naked sexiness personified! I brand the Puma Starck Naked collection as a functional yet sexy essential that reveals nothing but displays a lot of skin aesthetically. I know this does not fall into ID, but I wanted to bring across the point that naked people sell a lot of clothes! What an oxymoron!

8 ) Bodylicious by Hiroshi Tsunoda

Inspired by Nyotaimori, a rather controversial Japanese tradition which consists of presenting Sushi on a naked woman, using her body as a tray, Bodylicious here iterates the kinky side of mankind. Conversely, when presenting Sushi (Sashimi) on the naked body of a man, it’s called Nantaimori. You eat off me and I eat off you. What could be sexier than that!

BTW I’m strictly talking about the plates here.

7) Love Case by Paul Sandip

Fumbling to reach out for a condom during the most sensual moment can be quite an embarrassment for both the parties. A sleeker way would be to whip out the sophisticated Love Case and impress your mate. It stores 1-2 condoms and has a magnetic slider; the provocative scene depicted in this pic further strengthens my belief that sex sells everything, even condom holders!

6) HotDoll, Love Doll For Dogs by Clement Eloy

Man’s best friend has his urges too, and they need to be satisfied pronto. Like we get dolls and toys for ourselves, why not a one for him!

5) NASA Interactive Sex Toy by Pei-Hua Huang

There are two reasons why I put this interactive sex toy to my list. One is the obvious NASA branding and the other is that the toy can be used by both men and women to indulge in some out of this universe experiences.

4) Aloe by Discoh for Imaginarte

The next time you reach out for Aloe juice or an Aloe Vera cream just remember that it inspired these folk to make a dildo. According to its creators, “Aloe gives the user the chance to choose. It´s a dildo. But visually it can also be a plant. It can be a perfect gift or even an elegant way of ending a relationship”.

3) Intimate Massagers by Philips

When the Big Daddy of consumer electronics comes out with a product that is meant to stimulate, arouse, and tease, you stand up (no pun intended) and take notice. The Intimate Massagers purr seductively and encourage greater physical contact between the two of you.

2) Sex in Design/Design in Sex Exhibition by James Biber, Dan Maxfield and James Bowman; exhibition graphics by Michael Bierut and Jennifer Kinon

I’m speechless! That’s coz this exhibition is bang on target as to what I wanted to convey. Tour around the MoSex (Museum of Sex) and get familiar.

1) GlowBalls Warming Light by Ashish Chaudhary

We are pretty familiar with Ashish’s work on YD and his Butt-On was quite wicked. However this one takes the cake! Would you have the balls to light one of these in your home?

On a more serious note, evidently these lights depict the global warming situation on the surface map. They radiate light and heat, and change from white to red after about two hours of usage.

So you’ve got a hankering to pour paint all over expensive cars, do you? Today’s your lucky day! Unless of course you were hoping for more than a video of a car painting a picture with its wheels and gallons and gallons of paint. This post shows exactly what you’ve got to do to successfully create hype for a new project using a giant canvas, a remote controlled wheel paint splatter car, and Andy Warhol just for fun.

The BMW Z4. The official page for which has just gone live today, is coming to a release party near you. Or you to it. Something like that. Check it out:

A public art installation at Grand Central Terminal. In on half of Vanderbilt Hall: BMW painted art cars from four of the worlds most well-respected artists; Andy Warhol, Frank Stella, Roy Lichtenstein and Robert Rauschenberg. In the other half, a 30′ x 40′ section of a football-field sized painting by artist Robin Rhode.

Conceptual enough for you?

Rhode controlled the painting by remotely activating the spray of the paint on the tires of the car as it drove a choreographed path across the canvas. Gross, huh? If you’re interested in the car itself, read below, see the video, or check out the BMW homesite.

It seems Autodesk wants to know if there’s interest in a native OS X version of their flagship AutoCAD program. Take the survey and sound off. As they say, ask and ye shall receive.

I Want AutoCAD on Mac OS X: Survey

A cross between the boombox on your shoulder and an MP3 player is the right description for the MU SPACE! Touted as this relaxation portable music system with a mat included, nirvana will be miles away if you use it to catch those forty winks at work! However, investing in the MU SPACE will be cheaper than Sleep Pods but it looks more apt for stressed-out teens than boardroom chiefs.

• USB and Memory Card compliable.

That’s how pretty this is! Believe it! Have you ever had the need for an infusion? Perhaps a bag of fresh fluids in your veins to clean you up a little bit, or maybe you’re low on blood? Sometimes when this is a need, you also just happen to be living in New York, where you’re not allowed to sit still for more than a couple minutes or you’ve lost your job and lifestyle! So what do you do? You get a “Hook Man!” Designed by Chaozhi Li, a fabulous inventor who’s got style on the mind as well! When I first saw this design, I thought it was for some Tron body armor!

When using this product, you’ve got your liquid up on top, the tube running down your arm, and the IV plugged into your hand like usual. When the substance is about to run out, an alarm sounds and you can pop it out and keep on going on your way!

Safe? Sound?
