We loved the playful Delay-O-Mat by Holger Klapperich. This intricate critical design invention is a vending machine that offers either a fast or slow method of deliver, with the slow track delivering a positive experience for the user.

The How Come show was definitely worth a visit, it was an energetic space with a diverse mix of projects on show. Whilst there, we were also invited to join a crochet workshop, but opted instead to take a photograph of this colourful crocheting group.
