Check out this clever design by Goncalo Campos, a Portuguese product designer who explores the potential of new and different materials. The Dedo Message Board is a versatile, furry piece of artwork that can be totally customized day by day. You can draw a picture or leave a message by simply dragging your finger across the board in the opposite direction of its artificial fur growth. The board doubles as a decorative display, while offering an artistic way to communicate in the home – or office!

Campos consistently aims to find simple solutions through the use of materials in a process that starts from within the object and works outward. His process leads to “smart” solutions – often with a sense of humor – with signs of his open thinking and curious attitude. Campos is a true innovator – and his designs prove it. Check out these other fun products he’s designed over the past few years in the industry.
