Form Follows Function: Tissue Box



For this project, I decided to revise a really simple object - the tissue box. One problem I have is that tissues get stuck at the bottom and can't reach up to the top. Then you're forced to reach into the box and spread germs all over it.

My new design is a tissue box that dispenses from the bottom through a slot in the side. This way, the next tissue is always ready and you never have to reach in. Also, I designed a clear slot on the side of the box so that you can see how many tissues you have left.


To continue improving this design, I would make the box refillable in order to minimize waste. Also, I would like to design tissues made from recycled paper.

  1. Tissues from the bottom of the box... great idea! This certainly does optimize for the product's functionality. Did you find any similar products out there?
