The pacifier is an invention for stress management and reassurance. The hollowness of the tube and the missing mouthpiece encourage to think of communication, consumption and childhood.
The edition is called “Wassermann”. Both the mythological figure of Aquarius and the tube are associated with liquid. Due to its smooth surface stainless steel is particularly used in the food and pharmaceutical industries, because of its hygienic properties. This association contrasts with the theme of pacifiers and water ice, that we remember from hot childhood days.
