Exy’s Pebbled Bench is created out of a desire to have intuitive bondage furniture that’s discreet, luxurious, and easy to use. Every 10 cm, there’s a connection point that allows bondage pins or toys to be attached, making it as playful as it is devilish. Every exy product in designed as followed:

Design first

After more than eight years working as a dominatrix, I designed Exy’s Pebbled Bench to weave together my favourite practices into a single piece. Its modular architecture lets me later add accessories and tools, multiplying the possibilities of play with ease.
The bench is long enough to lie flat on, yet narrow enough that your legs can hang on either side, while someone else can still lie or sit on it ;)

Thus far, we’ve focused on bondage accessories because their visual impact is strong, but pleasure toys are already in development.

Taboo breaking

Designed to be a converation piece, taking bdsm out of the dungeon and into the galleries, magazines and your every day interior. I believe that normalising one's desires is key to fostering openness. In my practice, I frequently encounter shame and hear countless stories from people who struggle to fully express their fantasies. Through my work, I aim to shed a different light on BDSM, one that highlights its loving nature, strong sense of community, and boundless creativity

Safety

When designing for sexual pleasure, it’s just as important to consider what makes you feel safe and allows you to fully let go in the moment. Hygiene is a key part of that. Accidents can happen, so each cushion is removable and machine-washable. Once dried, it’s completely clean and ready for use again.

Another essential element is physical safety, especially when it comes to bondage. Each bondage pin is equipped with a quick-release button, allowing it to be unlocked within seconds. This makes it faster, and therefore safer, to free someone in case of an emergency."
