dubai-based digital designer jyo john mulloor has realized a series of helmet designs that appear to leave the human head totally exposed to outdoor elements. the trompe-l’œil effect brings about the illusion that a series of different people with shaved heads are seamlessly integrated into the plush, yet sturdy protective gear. four variations include a motorcycle cap with ears and earrings, a simple bicycle style with shaved brunette hair, and a vintage safety hat with attached goggles stretching over the surface of the skin. although not yet physical objects, mulloor’s ‘custom made helmets’ provide a look at the possibilities of extreme personalization, and would guarantee a double take on the road.

  • The ears are your helmet look amazing! My son’s plastic surgeons couldn’t even create an ear half that good for my son when he had plastic surgery to construct ears. He was born with out them and we decided to try plastic surgery, we could have waited till you came along and saved him a lot of pain and suffering. But seriously, you should bicycle and skateboard helmets with the same look. I know I for one would buy one for my son, he would love it!
