The BBC's 'Have I got news for you' drew my attention to this interesting design from Aya Tsukioka that aims to make the wearer blend into the background as a vending machine. Usually worn as a skirt, it can be opened up and used as a 'cunning' disguise. I have often questioned the thousands of useless designs out there and this is another one that i just cannot see taking off, surely there are better ways of staying safe on the streets than pretending to be a coke machine. Other products in the designer's range include a manhole bag which unfolds to look like a sewer cover and a backpack which looks like a fire hydrant and can 'hide' a child. Design for the sake of design?
