Time and again we have seen designers trying to shake the image of sex toys being loud, crass and inartistic. We have here the Whoop – de – doo set of Classic Vibrators, Venus Balls and Vibrating Egg; slickly packaged and designed for pleasure giving, and yes they are artistic. I think it helps that a women designs these products, simply because she knows what she wants. As for the tech-specs, the toys come with a handy induction charging system, making them completely wireless and hassle-free.

The SOFT Rocker

These curved, solar-panel-covered seats rotate on an axis to keep them facing the sun, generating additional energy from the rocking motion created when people climb inside. All that harvested electricity can be used to recharge gadgets plugged into the three USB ports and to illuminate a light strip on the inside of the loop.
