This isn’t the first design from Simonas Palovis that we’re seeing, but this one definitely looks the most interesting. The OLLY appears like another cute stuffed toy for your desk, but it does more than just function as table decor.
The angry expression of Olly will not inspire you to be a better worker or faster, but it will help you when you feel outraged. Olly can be used to manage anger, particularly when it’s not possible for you to scream from frustration.
Designer: Simonas Palovis
OLLY is your friend, who will listen to your frustrations and take your side. You can take your fury out on Olly, and he will not mind. Squeeze, pinch, punch, crush, or do anything to Olly, and the little guy will not fight back. It won’t tell you things you don’t want to hear because Olly is a dear friend whom you still can treat as an enemy.
We’re not saying you go on expressing your anger, but it’s better to let it all out instead of keeping your feelings inside. Instead of grabbing whatever you can and throwing it at yourself because your mad, the Olly is better.
This interactive anger management toy will be there for you. Do you want to hit someone or something? Just punch Olly and he will gladly let you hurt him. Olly’s face will respond to you punches. That is what makes him so cute. You won’t be able to stop him from looking mad, but he will not take anything against you.
The designer has a stress and anger management problem. Olly was suggested by the designer to help with stress management. It’s okay to vent your anger, as long as it is not directed at anyone. Olly is the ideal guy because he will not get hurt and won’t remember anything you have said or done.
Simonas Palovis is a designer who often creates amazing designs. We recently learned of the Axis standing desk convertible concept. He won the Axis convertible standing desk concept with his WEE! Desk won an A’ Design Award for the year 2018. A few years ago, there was the Bud design as his entry to the Electrolux Design Lab too. We can see that Palovis is focused on solving a problem, and then comes up with creative, useful solutions such as the Olly.
