This week a pink seesaw installation on the US-Mexico border was named Design of the Year
This week on Dezeen, an installation of three pink seesaws that allow children to play across the border won the Design Museum's Design of the Year award.
Named the Teeter-Totter Wall, the pink seesaws were designed by architecture studio Rael San Fratello to connect children on both sides of the border wall.
"We are living in a time when people are longing for meaningful connections and we would like to think the teeter-totter can be an example for how we come together, to create balance and equality," Virginia San Fratello told Dezeen. The award was announced in the same week that Donald Trump, who highly politicised the border wall, left office and Joe Biden was sworn in as US president.
