5 Brave Brands reveal the feelings and matters most people hide

Sometimes making a product design compelling takes a designer's courage to challenge social norms and play with feelings and matters most people keep hidden, but this kind of audacity is a pretty good way to grab attention. Simplisis Design Studio has picked 5 brands on Instagram whose products are designed around the shapes of “breasts” and “bottoms” for you to browse at your leisure. @coldpicnic Simple line work by artist duo Phoebe Sung and Peter Buer from Brooklyn, New York, USA, who draw pared-down outlines of breasts, chests and thighs on blankets, towels, beach towels, pillows and bath mats. They may not use complex art techniques, but their products are seriously tempting. @grouppartner Daringly racy terracotta planters and vases in a range of colours by Isaac Nichols, also from Brooklyn, New York, USA. The planters mimic the human body, with muscles rendered almost lifelike, yet they still manage to hide a cute, playful side. @rosegrown Adorable little planters by artist Sonia Rose McCall from Atlanta, Georgia, USA. Her planters are modelled on women's breasts of different shapes and skin tones, and her work conveys the diversity of women's bodies without any embarrassment. @coucousuzette By Juliette Mallet, a super-cool Parisian. She pairs soft pastels with bold, vivid colours in her cheeky jewellery and clothing designs, making it clear that her target customers are fashionable, self-confident women who dare to challenge social conventions through the way they dress. @meeganbarnes Sculptures of curvy, big-hipped women by Meegan Barnes from Los Angeles, USA. These clay works are a voice that stands up for women's confidence in their bodies, skin tones and other kinds of diversity. The patterned bodysuits worn by her full-hipped clay figures speak to the personality, status, ethnicity and background of the women each of her pieces tells the story of.
