Karim Rashid is known for his radical interior designs and he has recently brought his futuristic style to the traditional love shop. Giving it a sophisticated overhaul, Fun Factory is a love shop that is full of curves, which complements the idea of a woman's body beautifully.

These alternatives also cut through the awkwardness of purchasing sex toys and other intimate paraphernalia.
