spread pleasure through designthe overwhelming majority of existing products rely on just two senses: sight and touch. however, LELO believes it’s time to extend the possibilities of design by activating the senses of smell, taste and sound, with the goal of proving that true pleasure is multi-sensory.

 

applicants are encouraged to discover the vibrancy of pleasure through design, exploring all materials, possibilities of technology and what it really means to feel good. while LELO’s expertise is sensual pleasure, the company is in search of what other possibilities remain unexplored.in essence, the LELO design award provides a chance for designers to give a personal interpretation of pleasure that pushes sensory boundaries.
