clean support by daehyun kim from korea
designer's own words:
Generally, objects are made for one typical reason. ‘Books’ are made to be read by someone, ‘lighters’ are for burning something, and ‘shovels’ are made to dig something. But sometimes it’s used in a different way depending on the user. Some people stack books and use them as a pillow, some use shovels as an alternative to frying pans, and open the caps of bottles with lighters. These kinds of utilizations give objects a new vital power which makes things more valuable.
-- Many people place their chopsticks and spoon on a napkin when they eat out. As interests in health increased, this habit became common. Actually we sometimes see tables cleaned improperly, leaving marks of foods which were there previously. To ease the customers, some restaurants serve paper-wrapped chopsticks. But as the napkins get wet and wrappings thrown away, it becomes effortless and useless.
-- What can be suitable for users who care about cleanliness? ‘Clean Support’ serves as another role to the wrapping by paper folding. It also gives the pleasure of creating while folding the paper, and presents satisfaction.
