Art comes from life, and life comes from nature. Life is in various forms, and naturally it is endlessly changeable. Therefore, art is also rich and colorful. For example, even the most inconspicuous toilet paper holder in the toilet can be full of surprises in the hands of the designer~
Marta Gallery in Los Angeles is holding a unique exhibition, where you can see the unique design of toilet paper holders by more than 50 international designers such as Martino Gamper and laylab.
The exhibition is called “Under / Over” and the exhibition will last until November 1. The organizer hopes that this exhibition can attract people’s attention, and the toilet paper holder is a neglected and underestimated household item. “Usually, the toilet paper holder is mixed with other bathroom hardware to form a so-called “bathroom kit.”
They are rarely designed independently or independently, and in a sense, they are almost always thought of after the fact. “Criton said: “Almost everyone can design a toilet paper holder. “The curator hopes that the exhibition will arouse people’s attention to environmental issues. Most of the works in the exhibition are specially designed for this exhibition.
Although the curator gave a clear and brief introduction, calling on the designer to create at most two wall-mounted works of 30 to 30 cm each, these rules were freely broken by the designer. At the same time, the materials used are also enriched by the designers’ ideas.
The hope of the exhibition is not to raise a superficial question, but to raise a fact. That is, our refusal to pay attention to these aspects of personal hygiene actually has a real, measurable impact on the environment.
Cliton said to Dezeen: “Our original intention for holding this exhibition is to hope that the existence of these items can arouse people’s joy or reflection, although some people even questioned the implied relationship with the company that provided toilet paper.” Cooperation’, but we still stick to our original intention.”
Among the many toilet paper racks, the multidisciplinary design studio Playlab’s design is unique and very visual. It consists of a pair of real scissors, one of the blades pierces the artificial boulder, and the other blade supports the toilet paper to pay homage to the classic rock-paper-scissors.
Cliton said: “The product has some risk factors, because these scissors are not blunt and sharp.” The designer applies the tribute to the tribute, and at the same time arouses the user’s real attention through the material.
And BNAG is a design duo from Karlsruhe, Germany. They created a series of seven ceramic fixtures, one of which is a flesh-colored tongue, which protrudes from the wall and then gently supports it. Raise toilet paper to provide to the user.
The flowing curve brings uncertain beauty. The simple design and the right curvature just support the toilet paper commonly used by people.
