More information
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 ‘Fo to’ photo frame has a fold which acts a support when placed on a shelf or mantelpiece. The support is not hidden, but plays a part in the overall composition. The photo is positioned off - centre to visually balance the support and to allow for horiz ontal or vertical positioning. The slot for the photo was the dimensions of the standard printed photo of the time.
