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 ‘Sha bo’ shampoo bottle is a loop, large enough to hang the bottle around a normal shower/bath tap or knob. The function is to s
queeze it with one hand and collect the shampoo in the other. Suiting a Japanese
custom where it is normal to buy containers for shampoo and soap and fill them up yourself with your preferred quality/fragrance.
