London designer Stephen Johnson has developed a colourful adhesive dough that is strong enough to bond parts of furniture together.

The synthetic dough, called PLAY, is designed to look like children's modelling toy Play-Doh, but to function as a strong adhesive. It can be used to bond a range of materials, including wood, glass, marble and metal.

Johnson developed the product after trying and failing to use toy dough in the manufacture of his own furniture designs.

"The objective was to design functional products using kids dough, but given its soft nature it's just not feasible," he told Dezeen. "I needed a material that looked and behaved in the same way but became rigid over time."
