Hand-dryer competition (CWS)

CWS-boco manufactures hygiene solutions and work clothing. This year they launched a new line of towel and soap dispensers, Paradise Line, with interchangeable front covers, so customers could “…display images or text…, corporate logos, and communications of various kinds…”cws_cotton towel dispenser

To promote the launch, they ran an international competition to design a front cover for the cotton towel dispenser, on the themes of:

  • Emotions – Lifestyle: nature elements, freshness, cleanliness, ecology, health.
  • Technique – hygiene: The towels rolls are made of 100% cotton.
  • Abstract: Visionary, controversial or critical approaches are welcome.

(translated from the Italian)

CWS products are everywhere – hotels, bars, airports, public building, etc, in many cultures and languages. So I decided, to base my design, on an internationally recognised format, that we’re already used to seeing in multiple languages – the washing instruction label!

This idea also fits well with the emphasis CWS put on cotton towels rather than paper.

Unfortunately I didn’t win this time – you can see the winners here.
