DESIGN: Mauricio Affonso
A house-shaped tissue box cover uses the tissue to complete the story.
Made from molded polypropylene.
5 x 6 1/2 x 5" (13 x 17 x 13 cm)
THE INSPIRATION: "Traditional tissue boxes are not exactly fun. Since my design mantra is to eliminate ugly, I wanted to transform this everyday household item into an object of play--bright colors, a cute silhouette and paper that pulls through the chimney so that with each fresh tissue you can spontaneously transform its shape." --Mauricio Affonso
