DRILL DESIGN

Yusuke Hayashi & Yoko Yasunishi

Each part of the design such as graphic design, package design, and spatial arrangement are done in tune with product design.
They are rarely featured in overseas media but their work is of high quality. They are easy to use and have great ideas and humor.
Once again their new work is at the product exhibit this year.

For those who garden in limited space such as a veranda, storage is a big issue. By designing a way to store the water vertically, space is saved as well as creating a beautiful shape.

It can be turned upside down when stored.
Earned the good design award.

The rubber band holding the notebook together is also the title line. It makes you want to use it more than a regular notebook.
