Some things are so practical that a redesign seems redundant, yet the traffic cone has undergone a cute transformation with these Traffic Sheep. They serve the exact same purpose in a more aesthetically-adorable manner.
Commissioned by the Municipality of Gland, Switzerland, Christophe Machet designed these Traffic Sheep. I can't help but feel like Little Mary has lost her reflective lambs when looking at these luminous farm animals.
