German design studio BNAG encourages us to celebrate our flaws with a collection of lumpy nose vases and pink nipple clocks, exhibited as part of this year's Nomad collectible design fair.
The ceramic series, called Body Buddies, comprises a series of unique platters, vessels and lamps crafted in the shape of different body parts including ears, hands and feet, that are designed to address negative body image.

Also featured in the collection is a giant toe that doubles up as an iPhone docking station, and a terracotta clock with nipples in place of numbers.
Oliver-Selim Boualam and Lukas Marstaller, who make up BNAG studio, designed the collection as a tongue-in-cheek way of prompting people to change their perspective about the body parts they often consider undesirable. Each piece boasts the natural irregularities that come from the process of hand-crafting, encouraging people to in turn embrace their own flaws.

The duo also set out to celebrate diversity, glazing the ceramics in a variety of different skin-like tones.
"The idea behind all the objects we're showing at Nomad is quite democratic," BNAG told Dezeen. "We're trying to explore the possibilities of figurative sculpture and engage the user through touch and emotion."
"Each piece is handcrafted by us and acts as a tribute to the beauty and diversity of the human body," the duo added.

Represented by the Berlin-based Functional Art Gallery, BNAG's Body Buddies is on show at this yea...
