At this year’s Dutch Design Week, design graduate Juliane Kühr showcased a collection of sex toys for self-insemination, which can be used during sex to help facilitate conception. The Vruit kit includes a masturbator for sperm donation and two insemination devices.

Readers were intrigued by the kit. One reader commended its “innovative design purposes”, while another said: “This sounds like a great idea! I have some friends in my circle who are in a similar situation, and I know they would love to use this.”

Other stories in this week’s newsletter that fired up the comments section included plans for Terrarium Cheong-Dam, a skyscraper being designed in South Korea by ODA, a home featuring concrete pillars in Canada designed by Omer Arbel and a minimalist pink house in Culiacán, Mexico.
