Brooklyn studio Good Thing and grooming brand Harry's have unveiled a collection of unusual shaving brushes, which include designs made from bobbly cast aluminium, towered stacks of magnets and a wobbly metal ball.
Good Thing and Harry's asked 13 emerging designers and studios to reimagine the handheld tool, which is used to lather soap and spread it evenly across the face before shaving a beard.
Stockholm-based Studio E O created mouth-blown glass bases in three different shapes and colours
New York studio Chen Chen & Kai Williams responded to the brief by casting liquid aluminium around water-gel beads to create a blobby metal handle. The process takes cues from the studios' Liquid Metal Stools made for New York's Chamber gallery earlier this year. Harry's own design team also contributed a brush, bowl, and cover set made out of coloured glass
Good Thing, which was founded by Jamie Wolfond in 2014, also launched rugs, furniture and lights at International Contemporary Furniture Fair, which runs at the end of the citywide festival on 24 May 2017.
Earlier this year, the studio launched seven everyday tools for the home, including a dustpan and a tray with crinkled corners and a torch charged via USB.
