A family of five bathroom and home accessories were commissioned by legendary creative director Takuya Matsuda for the Japanese retail company Franc franc under the brief of being ‘likeable and friendly’. They were: a toothbrush, a shampoo bottle, a soap dispenser, a photo frame and a wall clock.
The ‘Brush rush’ tooth brush is very simple, monochrome, with a loop at the end as a feature. The package included a holder, matching the loop, to be fastened on the bathroom wall with an adhesive pad. To provide for the whole family, six colours were produced: sky, blush, pistacchio, cream, white and black.
