Scott Christensen Toro Tissue Ring
by TreeHugger on 12. 9.04
Ah, simplicity. Toro is another one for the couldn’t-be-more-minimal category. Scott Christensen figured you didn’t need a box round your tissues and I.D. Magazine agreed, giving him a Best of Category award in their Student Design Review. It actually works better than a box: the tissues are always right at the top, ready to be snatched without fumbling as soon as a dribbly nose strikes. Pair it with...
...eco-packed recycled tissues from Seventh Generation and you’re all set. When you’re finished blowing your schnoz, use Toro to outfit the nearest bull with a stylish nose-ring. Or if you don’t fancy being gored, just recycle it. That’s what it’s designed for. $16 from Vessel. ::scott designworks [by KK]
If you can’t get enough minimalism, take a look at the bare-bones CD storage hubs from 5inch.
This ring is beautiful, and works great, now only if the kleenex would come in bulk packaging without the box. Unfortunately, for this product to work, you have to toss the box every time.
Ben, you've missed part of the point. The above says "Pair it with eco-packaged recycled tissues from Seventh Generation and you're all set." Skip the Kleenex(tm) and the box.
JBB,
When you have to have a special condition for a product to be eco-friendly you are not really making any impact. For the sustainable design movement to be successful, we must drop this boustique type products and develope real solutions. Not just whitty junk.
