Unique Properties
Tissue paper which is a daily needs in your life, but it doesn’t look nice at your room. We solve the problem with our beautiful and brand new design TPH “Tissue paper holder”. Pick up paper from a package, and put the papers between the trays. That’s all how start to use. Reverse U-shaped form makes width shorter. Furthermore you can pick paper up very smoothly. It’s made by steel. That’s why you can also use as a post-it board with magnets. The upper body’s steel weight is 0.8t and the bottom one is 2.0t. Finding the selection of materials was the most difficult thing. The upper one is much lighter than bottom one, so you can pick a paper up very smoothly. This functional tissue paper holder fits anywhere such as an office room or a living room, and makes the place more beautiful.

Production Technology
It seems a simple design, but we had a lot of process for making a sample. The most difficult part was making move to take up paper smoothly from the holder. We had two problems which are weight of trays and balance of two props. We finally made this model at 4th sample.
We imagine you to use next by laptop at your office. That’s why, we chose only two colors black and silver, and either of ones made mat finishing.
Research
The technology in this age is progressing, but tissue paper is always needed by anyone. We can change our daily needs into an interior products. Our products made by Japanese factories with high quality craftsmanship. TPH Steel was made by hand which make use of this craftmanship.
Inspiration
Where is tissue paper in your room? Hiding somewhere? Tissue paper is always a side character in your room, because it doesn’t fit your interior design. We try to make products which are able to fit any interior design. We only make with an eco material, and it will last a long time.
We started to sell with a leather one at 2018, which fits a modern living room.
This steel one made to fit a simple office.
