Toothbrush
A travel/home toothbrush initially catered to the luxury traveler, the Walrus toothbrush eventually became a crowd funding campaign for the client. Based on a monthly subscription model, the customer base for the product was eventually broadened by marketing a high quality reusable handle and travel case as more of a sustainable, convenient and in the long run less expensive way to purchase toothbrushes for the mass market. To keep a level of luxury, after testing a variety of different materials and finishes, the final material choice was a metal plated handle in three options: nickel, copper, gun-metal. A test tube and rubber cork case/stand is also a major selling point that would still satisfy the client’s criteria of portability for travelers while also adding a layer of hygienic storage for both home and travel. The handles and case are designed to be dishwasher safe.
