Design Feature > Design Temple

01Mar09

The Design Temple line of products are cleaned-lined and modern in design, but draw their inspiration from Indian myth, history and local nuances. There is a quirky, humurous take in each that doesn’t affect the functionality of the object. Here are some that caught my eye.

Cheerharan toilet paper

Cheerharan Toilet Paper: This hand-grabbing toilet paper is inspired by the evil king Duryodhana who ordered “Cheerharan” or stripping of the saree, in a famous Indian epic from the 4th century B.C. That saree never came to an end, this toilet paper unfortunately will. Set of 2 rolls.

    For the first time I felt like giggling when I saw toilet paper! I bow to the super-creative funkiness of the designer.

    thanks for bringing these absolutely wonderful finds to the rest of us! i was trying to imagine the ad film that promotes this amazing toilet paper!! I’m sure it would have to be the same designers…an animation film perhaps with the characters narrating a funny account of “life after the flush”
