Design Intervention
Brief: Find an elegant or witty way to disrupt the scenario so that it does not function anymore.
A comb is used to detangle one’s hair. But what if the comb is itself tangled?
The idea of a detangled comb relates to the people who give serious life advice to others, even though they are themselves caught up with deeper dilemmas of life and hence might not be the best people to seek advice from.
A dysfunctional comb prototype where the plastic body of the comb has been created from an empty plastic milk can and some cotton strings to make a wide tooth comb.
It also reflects the notion of ‘the blind leading the blind’ which holds relevant to the current worldwide political scenario. On a lighter note, it can be advertised as a comb for the bald to provide them with the joy of combing.
Eventually, I designed the plastic body of the comb with the aid of a 3D printer and drilled in the holes to fix the cotton strings.
