Three vices

More goodies from the Royal College of Art Show 2005:

In this age of free speech and action, and blurred definitions of morality do we need objects that define boundries, reassign value? acessing behaviour? Do we need products that can rehabilitate? If not can they at least make us more aware.

Three vices, by designer Srishti Bajaj, is a series of conceptual tools to help achieve a degree of control over our vices.

The Horn Mouth has to be worn on the mouth clamping on the teeth. It was designed for people who indulge in spreading malicious gossips and rumors.

The Tongue Rein holds the tongue of people with habit of using excessive profanity. The rein is worn over the tongue to literelly hold the tongue of such a person.

The Tempular Point is a device aimed at keeping from talking too much an individual who is extremly longwinded – verbose. The hold is worn under the chin, therefore everytime the person opens the mouth to speak, the set of pullys harness the pointed angles to painfully press into the temples, forcing the individual to talk less in order to avoid the pain.
