Industrial designer Michael Young has designed another sex toy, this time called Sabar.
Young will launch the product at 100% Design Tokyo this October, with a giant chandelier made up of 350 of the vibrators hanging at the show’s entrance (below). Young is the creative director for the show, which runs from 31 October to 4 November.
Below is some info from Young:
–
Michael Young has designed SABAR, this tech-no splendid sex toy in opiate-free plastic. Designed with continuous sensuous super curves to allow full fluid flexibility. Using the principle of nodes and anti-nodes the side panels have been scooped out for maximum vibration. A light switch at the front allows for speed change.
The product will be launched at 100% Design Tokyo, October 29th 2007. A limited batch will be available at the Michael Young shop inside the venue. To celebrate this Michael has designed a love chandelier for the entrance of the show with 350 vibrating sex toys in the form of a love heart.

August 28th, 2007 at 10:22 amwaiting list a must .
I think the shock value of sex toys is over If you look at the sex toys market there are loads of vibrators that look this…a bit “designed”.
August 28th, 2007 at 12:30 pmWhy do they need to shock ? this is a funcional industrial product not a media whore , we all need a good orgasm david and i would not mind puting this between my legs darling!
August 28th, 2007 at 2:33 pmlame ass marketing stunt, next
August 28th, 2007 at 4:34 pmSory PQ but I think this is “media whore” or at least hoping to be…it is signed Michael Young afterall. With reference to “shocking” this comes from the link between “Famous” designers creating sex toys, this tactic has already been done by the likes of Dixon, Newson, Ghion etc. All that said, If it stimulates you sexually then good job Young.
August 28th, 2007 at 6:27 pmNeeded ALMOST as much as another chair or desk lamp.
August 28th, 2007 at 7:25 pmna - i think this thing is hell good!!
August 29th, 2007 at 3:17 amnice way to bling out my sock draw!!!
I think its bit sad to use the word “tactic” , i dont think it is shocking , it is just another Industrial design project that keeps the studio running and its fun. What is positive is that it is , other than medical grade silicon toys the first opiate free sex-toy, made in a factory that produces 30,000 rubbish sex toys. It has educated the factory in China and created a fresh view point. Any way I will design any old shite if a feel like it ! BURP
August 29th, 2007 at 3:26 amgreat!
why no one go to me for this kind design? haha…
August 29th, 2007 at 6:45 amwhat’s the use of the red area?
August 29th, 2007 at 6:54 amThe ON button Einstein
August 29th, 2007 at 11:04 am“I will design any old shite if a feel like it ! BURP”
I noticed
August 29th, 2007 at 11:45 amI have a suggetion that many add a ‘circle ring’ at the small end for easier to handle and control it.
You guys get what I mean, I bet women would love it,haha..
Interesting design…
August 29th, 2007 at 12:52 pmwether for or against , the fact is the product immediately drew every one ‘ s attention , and comments .
August 29th, 2007 at 1:56 pmthe proof of its success is …euh .. in the vibrator .
and Michael Young made his point !
it aint easy to sort this kind of product out if you know anything about industrial production , the tooling on this must have been heavy going ….respect
August 29th, 2007 at 3:14 pmMichael, great looking design! I like the cut-out relief you intuited down the sides of the object. This device will look good in my sock draw, where might I get a chance to buy one of these black beautiful pieces.
Oh, by the way the crowd that you run with is quite critical of you work. A good piss-off may be in order!

I’m doubting the design since the bottom part lacks any enlarged part to prevent the whole toy getting inside during anal play. This could be dangerous.
August 29th, 2007 at 11:13 pmlooks like the thin end would actually go in first to me cause of the grooves , but if you put the fat end you could put it out with the grooves …. but maybe it was designed for women not men, if your gay maybe you good just sort of fart it out
August 30th, 2007 at 8:45 amMaybe they should ask more women to design vibrators ?, maybe it would give more pleasure to the user and look different, the result would probably wouldn’t look like a “Knignt Rider” teenage gadget, although this style might appeal to the gay male consumer.
August 30th, 2007 at 9:56 amif you farted this out you could get a free mini zaha hadid exhibition
August 30th, 2007 at 10:00 amI’d like to see a Haha Zadid designed vibrator. Could you ask her when it’s coming please Marcus?
August 30th, 2007 at 10:22 amGood fun to watch this ripping ! actually the toy was professionally tested from the start of design phase to finishing by an female expert in New York , fact !
August 30th, 2007 at 10:24 amGood point david, speaking of, Mattali Crasset designed a beautiful one that looks nothing like a phallus, and prob works much better
August 30th, 2007 at 3:03 pmYou’re right Chapmaniac. Matali Crasset’s sex toy - called 8th Heaven - can be seen here.
August 30th, 2007 at 6:48 pmBeautiful.
I can live without the flared base.
August 31st, 2007 at 3:04 pmthats the best DEZEEN FORUM ever!
October 31st, 2007 at 2:11 amThat does look like it would feel good. When will it hit the U.S.?
November 2nd, 2007 at 6:26 pmWhat exactly is meant by ‘opiate-free’ plastic. Several blogs have mentioned this as a selling point, including the above post. Pardon if I’m making myself look woefully stupid here, but I wasn’t aware of there being a narcotics problem with plastic. I suspect that ‘phthalate-free’ might be the phrase we’re looking for here kids.
