Attention bicyclists, motorcycle riders, and moped owners: If youve
ever wanted to see how you'd look bald (complete with a gold hoop
piercing), nows your chance.
Creative
Helmets, which recently won the
Red Dot
design award, showcases Kazakhstan native
Igor Mitin's collection of
swanky, quirky, tongue-in-cheek headgear to give fellow commuters a
laugh while protecting your brain. Show off a perfect bob while biking
in the wind, don a pearly, pink bowling ball from the Balls
Collection, or become a perfectly juicy watermelon-head. Theres even a
sexual collection for those who want to moon traffic from their heads. Mitin says the project came out of his desire to create something
unusual and funny. "Unifying two things with the same shape, but
different purposes is really challenging and at the same time
rewarding," he says. "There is a lack of things which force people stare
and smile. Consequently, I have made my motto to give a new unusual look
to very familiar objects of our everyday life."
