Conceptual designer
Shiri Zinn centres 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.
Shiri Zinn believes it is only through quality that
we can challenge prejudices and
preconceived notions about sexuality. I intend to challenge
these prejudices and uncover unexpected glamour in this marketplace through
the medium of design.

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. Feather is a profoundly sensual
material, while diamonds
have seduced us for centuries.
