Sometimes, life throws us situations that make us mean and angry - like when our computers freeze in the middle of important work, or when we get emails from co-workers, reminding us of impossible deadlines, OR when your parents call you, asking how to use their new smartphone. Now imagine if all 3 of those things happened to you at once.

When we get angry we usually feel like grabbing the nearest object and crushing it in our hands or yelling at someone. But why hurt precious things or yell at you friends and family?

Just take it all out on OLLY - an interactive anger (un)management toy, designed to be there, when you just feel like punching something. Don't worry - he doesn't mind.

OLLY is the result of a month-long interactive design workshop, the goal of which was to familiarize design students with basic electric components, and to make an interactive design object with the acquired knowledge.

I specifically chose stress and anger management as my problem. What motivated me to create OLLY is the idea that many of us live very fast and stressful lives with often frustrating situations that make us angry. And yet, venting out anger is usually perceived as a socially immature act and not acceptable for an adult. However, anger inside of you is even worse, because it not only ruins your mood, but might even harm your relationships with the people you interact with.
