Design Description
The design is inspired by the themes of accessibility and mobility, the title ‘Apples and Pears’ is the well-known London Cockney rhyming slang phrase meaning ‘stairs’…stairs and steps being a major challenge for anyone with mobility issues. The design is also a fun game of pairs, there are two the same of each apple and pear. And there is one pear that isn’t a pair, can you find the odd one out that doesn’t have a match?

Buy a Morph at Auction
