Conventional kitchen roll holders are difficult to use with one hand. They also need to be used with specific sizes of kitchen roll. This kitchen roll holder is different; it’s designed to allow for easy tearing of the towel for a variety of roll sizes. This is made possible through the spring-loaded central column that pushes the kitchen roll into the static outer ‘blade’.

As with many of our project, physical prototyping (through various different iterations) was essential to develop the product.
