Hair Affairs – A Tool for Whimsical Minds

This rather weird design brings out people’s strange side. The brushes’ anthropomorphic design intelligently humors its owners while promoting generosity towards people’s quirks, follies and cravings. The tools celebrate absurdity and the complexity of our emotional needs and may actually be used or add playfulness and exhilaration to any room when utilized as wall decorations. A statement against any impoverished views of what it means to be human, the project is for quizzical minds with a mischievous sense of humor, charm, whimsy and wit.

Originally the brushes were conceived by then art student Dearbhaile Heaney in 2006 at Goldsmiths University, London. Later, her colleague Helge Simon reached her out to ask for the permissions to continue with the project that he is running now through Kickstarter platform

For the happily obsessed and the behavioral explorers, ‘Hair Affairs’ is currently live on Kickstarter
