My allergies have been driving me nuts. I’m sure I have destroyed a small forest with the amount of tissues I’ve used in the last couple days. All this sneezing reminded me of Marcel Wanders nasal inspired project, the Airborne Snotty Vases. You may remember Marcel from our review of the Tracy tray. His Snotty Vases however, are a far cry from his other home products. Using digital prototyping technology, Wanders took a 3D scan of a “globule” of mucous secreted from a sneeze caused by a virus. Ewwwww. But he didn’t stop with just one virus, he chose 5 of the most common viruses and scanned each afflicted subject thus creating 5 original designs. If you can’t get enough of bodily secretions, you can check out the cool video of the process on Wanders site.
More photos after the jump…
I heretofore promise to be much more respectiful of my mucus secretions. Becaus these vases, they are nice.
