Sensorial Brushes by Najla El Zein Workspace are designed to stimulate the skin

The pins gradually decrease in size down the length of the implement, which can be placed on a brass rest with a black marble base. Photography is by Karen Kalou. Another design, titled Sweep, has soft bristles created by strands of dried grass. Brass pins are embedded into   the surface   of   a bulbous white Pentelic marble tool named Stroke, with   a section left clear so a hand can grip it. Finally, a thin marble pole with fake eyelashes attached to its rounded end is called Blink. Najla El Zein Workspace chose a varied selection of materials that would cause different sensations when moved   over the skin to create the bristles for the five Sensorial Brushes, described as «marble-sculpted pleasure tools».

The pad of nails is set onto the end of a rounded handle sculpted from black Tala marble.
