Conceptual designer Shiri Zinn centers her work on modern day perceptions of eroticism and empowerment. Her work represents a dynamic fusion of art, jewellery, fashion accessory and product design. It challenges the boundaries between what is deemed acceptable and unacceptable for public consumption, and questions value judgments made by key influencers including media, fashion and product industries.

Why has it taken so long for objects destined for intimate and pleasurable use to incorporate quality, artistic design and superior manufacturing? Perhaps the concept of by women for women luxury has only begun to be incorporated into the commodity of selling pleasure.

Shiri believes it is only through quality that we can challenge prejudices and preconceived notions about sexuality. She intends to challenge these prejudices and uncover unexpected glamour in this marketplace through the medium of design.

Each Shiri Zinn piece is stamped with a limited edition number and engraved with the artist's signature.

Shiri Zinn, on "Pleasurable Materials"

"Solid organic glass is the latest material to be used in sex toy manufacture. It allows for a more weighty feeling and is a wonderfully receptive material to warm & cold sensations. Fur and feathers are profoundly sensual materials, while diamonds have seduced us for centuries."
