From François Dallegret's website:

This enigmatic, barbell-shaped product is recommended by its creator as a 'hand pill' for 'breaking bad habits or starting good ones.' It also promised, using the hyperbolic language of sales, to 'cure bodily discomforts and mental obsessions.' First introduced at the 1968 International Design Conference in Aspen, Colorado, Dallegret’s KIIK was also later sold in the gift shop at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. With its sleek, curvy body made of lathed stainless steel, KIIK was a pure and conceptual product in name, packaging, promotion, and philosophy – its ultimate function to be determined by the user, although its instructions suggested to 'spill on the carpet or in your other hand,' and 'fondle and manipulate to your heart and mind’s "delight".'
