Playful Toothpick Holder
In nature, there are many species of cacti in different shapes and sizes, but most of them are green and have sharp thorns. Above all, no thorn in the eye is the Cactus toothpick dispenser that John Brauer designed for Essey - an elegant container with a secret. Pressed briefly, it opens upwards to reveal its contents. Pressed again, the toothpicks disappear well protected and hygienically flawless inside.
The Cactus toothpick dispenser is a good example of the symbolic functionalism that many Essey products embody. What's more, the little helper is guaranteed to generate table conversation and is always ready to dispense a toothpick.
